Illinois Lawmakers Set Two Online Gambling Hearings

Illinois lawmakers are giving themselves some time to agree to a deal on online sports betting before they're set to return to the Capitol this fall.  State Rep. Bob Rita yesterday announced two hearings on the issue, one for later this month in Chicago and the other set for October at the State Capitol.  Lawmakers are due back for the fall veto session in November.  Online gambling supporters hope to get a vote on a gambling expansion package when lawmakers return after the election.
