Chicago should feel like a winner now that the City Council has granted zoning approval for Bally’s to build a $1.7 billion gaming complex in the River West neighborhood.

After all, Chicago’s projected $200 million a year take from casino gambling revenues is supposed to help ease the city’s mounting pension obligations, Mayor Lori Lightfoot and casino backers have attested.

And the jobs created from building and operating the facilities proposed for the Chicago Tribune’s Freedom Center at Chicago Avenue and Halsted Street will employ 6,000 Chicagoans and boost the local economy, we’ve all been told.

But rather than exhaling a sigh of relief over the zoning approval win in City Council last week — the final local legislative hurdle for the project — this editorial board, and no doubt a measure of the public, still feels a bit uneasy over the whole thing.
