Mayor Lori Lightfoot wants the Chicago City Council to give final approval for a new downtown casino by next Wednesday.
Lightfoot said Friday she's "confident" the votes are there, despite objections from thousands of neighbors who live near the site at Chicago Avenue and Halsted Street.
In addition to objections to the proposed Bally's site, there's a battle brewing over the surprise temporary casino site the mayor recently announced with no advance public notice or discussion.The council member representing that area mocked Deputy Mayor Samir Mayekar's suggestion of strong support for it.
