Sugar Grove legalizes video gaming

SUGAR GROVE – After hearing public comments Tuesday, the Sugar Grove Village Board legalized video gaming and gave the nod to put an advisory gambling referendum on the April ballot.

The Village Board voted 4-2 in favor of legalizing video gaming, a vote that came four months after the board voted to ban the measure. Trustees Kevin Geary and Tom Renk voted against the measure. Trustees Mari Johnson, David Paluch, Robert Bohler and Rick Montalto voted in favor of it.

The ordinance goes into effect 10 days from today, but establishments still will have to apply for licenses through the state.

What do you think of people using fireworks near their homes?

That shouldn't be tolerated. It's dangerous.
I'd never do it, but I'll watch others.
It's OK so long as the fireworks are legal.
It's not a problem. It's just a way to celebrate.
I have no opinion.
