"The Grand Victoria Casino in Elgin won't be the only one to suffer if Gov. Rod Blagojevich gets his way and drastically increases the riverboat's already record-breaking taxes.
Local officials said Elgin, Kane County and the riverboat's massive charitable foundation all would be hit hard by Blagojevich's plan to raise taxes on Illinois' biggest casinos from 50 percent to 70 percent. The governor Wednesday also proposed increasing the riverboat admission tax from $3 to $5 per person as another way to combat the $5 billion deficit facing the state."
