Illinois Governor Pat Quinn rejected a proposed gambling expansion for what he called a lack of sufficient regulatory oversight.
In a statement Quinn said, "Illinois should never settle for a gaming bill that includes loopholes for mobsters."
The expansion would have included four new riverboat casinos and slot machines at racetracks.
We'll have all the details and reaction from local lawmakers tonight at 5.
