Mayor Lori Lightfoot chose the Bally's proposal for Chicago's casino Thursday.
CHICAGO -- Mayor Lori Lightfoot announced the Bally's proposal as her final selection for a Chicago casino Thursday.
"We would like to thank Mayor Lightfoot and her office for conducting a tough, but fair, RFP process, and selecting Bally's Chicago as the final bidder for the City's casino," said Soo Kim, chairman of Bally's Corporation Board of Directors.
"All of those workers will have a chance to earn family sustaining wages and benefits because of this agreement," said Bob Reiter, President Chicago Federation of Labor But 42nd Ward Alderman Brendan Reilly, whose ward is just across the river from the casino site, said the process of selecting a finalist amounted to a sham.
Bally's said it anticipates operating the temporary casino at the Medinah Temple, which Ald. Reilly also raised concerns about. Located in his ward, he said the area has a crime problem and the Medinah Temple is also in a no-alcohol zone."We believe that Bally's is ready to bet on Chicago, we think this is a wonderful way for Chicago to you know continue its recovery from COVID," he said.
