Last night, the members of the Waukegan City Council sat for a meeting of the Committee of the Whole to discuss the long-term use of revenue the City is receiving from the American Place Casino and legalized cannabis.
The casino is expected to generate $108.5 million and cannabis $6.2 million over the next decade. At the meeting, the mayor, six alderpersons, City Attorneys, and the City’s Department heads discussed how these funds could be spent over the next decade to move Waukegan forward for our next generation of citizens.
Notably missing were Alderpersons Donnenwirth, Martinez, and Turner. Not a good idea to miss an important meeting with the City’s staff, Corporation Council, and members of the public.
