| Description | When the gambling expansion bill was approved by the Illinois Senate last week, state Sen. Bill Brady, R-Bloomington, was a “present” vote.
When he ran for governor in 2010, Brady said he was beat up for approving an easement in Champaign close to a subdivision owned by his family’s development company, Brady Homes.
“In this case, I have an equity interest in a hotel in Danville, Illinois. And, when Danville was thrown into the bill, my ethics officer advised me that I should declare a conflict by voting present,” Brady said.
The gambling expansion bill includes five new casino licenses, including ones in Danville and Chicago, as well as slot machines at racetracks.
Brady’s answer made it seem as though he’s considering another run for governor. |
