From Michigan --
Current closing time for Michigan bars is 2 a.m. The legislation would let bar owners pay $1,500 to sell alcohol until 4 a.m.
The bill also would lift the state's Prohibition-era ban against selling alcohol on Sunday morning if establishments pay $1,500.
The House Appropriations Committee also explored whether horse tracks and the Michigan Lottery could be a source of more money to help with the budget deficit. It may vote later Thursday to spend $20,000 to study two gambling options: one letting horse tracks install machines so customers can bet on previously run races at other tracks; the other having the lottery use new pull-tab technology in bars and restaurants.
From Chicago --
The Casino Olympics
Chicago may have lost its bid to host the Olympics but two Chicago aldermen, evidently bewildered by all the Olympic spirit, yesterday proposed to build a casino complex where the city had hoped to build an Olympic Village.
