Freeport’s Journal–Standard’s VIEW: Transparency on video gaming

Will Belvidere or Boone County ever weigh in on this question?

Freeport and Stephenson County have not taken formal action regarding the state’s proposal to install video gaming machines in local restaurants, taverns, and truck stops.We strongly support a thorough and public opportunity to gather input on whether our communities support the new law.It assures that arguments on both sides of the issue will be aired, and our elected public officials will have plenty to consider after hearing public opinion.

What is most important to Illinois residents is the fair and accurate representation of public opinion, and a process that gathers that input through public hearings and an open, public vote by our elected officials.
