— DISGUSTING, TRAGIC: DuPage County Board lifts 10-year ban, votes to allow
video gaming in unincorporated areas – ALICIA FABBRE
https://www.chicagotribune.com/suburbs/naperville-sun/ct-nvs-dupage-reverses-ban-video-gaming-st-1113-20191113-fr4ar6wz4zcixeaem5yaoybxne-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE:
Commissioner Tim Elliott, R-Glen Ellyn, said the downside is people have to
lose money at the machines in order for the county to receive any money in
video gambling taxes. “The revenue we would receive as a county is a fraction
of what our residents would lose,” Elliot said, estimating gamers would have to
lose a total of $5.5 million for the county to take in $276,000. “That’s not
economic development. That is the opposite of economic development.” . . .
Board member Pete DiCianni, R-Elmhurst, requested the vote be tabled so that
people would have a chance to weigh in, but other commissioners countered that
the item was on the agenda and the public had notice of the meeting. DiCianni,
who also suggested letting voters decide if the ban should be lifted, said
allowing video gambling in unincorporated areas would put more pressure on
municipalities that have banned it.)

— DISGUSTING, TRAGIC: DuPage County lifts ban on video gambling – Robert
Sanchez
https://www.dailyherald.com/news/20191112/dupage-county-lifts-ban-on-video-gambling
(FROM THE ARTICLE:
Still, six Republican board members voted against the repeal: Grant Eckhoff of
Wheaton, Tim Elliott of Glen Ellyn, Pete DiCianni of Elmhurst, Sean Noonan of
Elmhurst, Jim Healy of Naperville and Robert Larsen of Wheaton. Larsen said he
has seen the negative impacts of gambling. And while lifting the ban will
generate revenue for the county, he said, “not all revenue is good
revenue.” “I don’t think it’s right for DuPage County,” he said.
Elliott said he’s concerned that lifting the ban will create problems for
businesses in municipalities that prohibit video gambling. “The two largest
municipalities in my district — Wheaton and Glen Ellyn — have banned video
gaming,” Elliott said. “What are you going to do to them when you
allow video gaming in every unincorporated area that borders them?”)
