Our View: Now approved, video gambling should be closely monitored in North Aurora
North Aurora recently joined the ranks of villages and cities in Illinois approving video gambling within their municipal limits.
Reflecting the contentious nature of just about any gambling-related debate, on July 16, North Aurora trustees, by a 4-2 vote, reversed an earlier decision that would have quashed businesses’ ambitions of supplementing their income through video gaming machines.
We have expressed past reservations about expanding video gambling, and stand by those moral and pragmatic concerns.
