Ald. Scott Waguespack (32) wrote in his latest newsletter, “The Mayor announced that the City has selected Bally’s Corporation to be the recipient of its sole casino license and the developer to create a world-class casino-resort and entertainment experience in Chicago on the site of the Tribune Publishing Center at Chicago and Halsted. You may read the full press release here. Many other factors were considered that led to the selection of Bally’s as the Mayor’s recommended partner on this historic development. The recommendation report will be available at chicago.gov/chicagocasino.”  

Ald. Brendan Reilly (42), wrote in his latest newsletter, “The vast majority of residents, 80%, are adamantly opposed to a casino opening in River North. I agree - the Tribune Publishing site is in an area of River North that is quiet and residential. It has a lot of traffic challenges that currently make it difficult to commute and traverse the area. It is not the appropriate place for a large entertainment venue.”  

Ald. James Cappleman (46) tweeted, “CTU is having an election on May 20. I won't tell teachers how to vote, but 3 years ago, some CTU teachers recruited students to assist them with stealing school desks and placing them in my front yard. Be an informed voter.”  

Ald. Matt Martin (47) wrote in his latest newsletter that he hosted “a visioning of the Ravenswood Industrial Corridor between Irving Park and Lawrence.

You can watch a recording of the video here.”  

Ald. Harry Osterman (48) wrote in his latest newsletter, “Myself and other members of City Council will be reviewing and voting on this [casino] proposal. A casino in Chicago will bring in revenues for the City and will help stabilize the City’s pension funds. I welcome your feedback on this proposal.”
