To the Honorable Members of the

Illinois Senate

95th General Assembly

 

            Pursuant to Article IV, Section 9(b) of the Illinois Constitution of 1970, I hereby veto Senate Bill 262, entitled “AN ACT concerning gaming.”  I recognize and appreciate the hard work of all the sponsors in passing this legislation; however, Senate Bill 262 increases taxes on consumers.

 

For this reason, I hereby veto and return Senate Bill 262.

 

 

Sincerely,

 

 

 

 

ROD R. BLAGOJEVICH

Governor
