In 2009 the Evanston City Council considered opening the door to legalized video gambling terminals in establishments – but closed it quickly.
That attitude might not prevail today. At their meeting on Monday, May 1, members of the City Council’s Human Services Committee voted 3-2 in support of Eighth Ward Council Member Devon Reid’s call for changes to the city’s gambling ordinance.
Under the proposal, staff would bring back their findings to the committee in three months…
In making the proposal, Reid said one of the driving forces was “making sure that city code aligns with the world as it is today and with our values as they are today.”
