This Monday, Dec. 2, 2013 photo shows Illinois state Rep. Robert Rita, D-Blue Island, speaking to lawmakers during a House Committee hearing on gambling at the state Capitol in Springfield, Ill. Rita believes his latest bid to expand Illinois gambling may finally bear fruit now that the state's thorny pension crisis has been resolved to the satisfaction of the governor who twice spiked measures that would have added casinos. Rita is to launch his quest Tuesday, Jan. 28, 2014, with a planned meeting at East St. Louis' Casino Queen, where he was to seek input from the region's casinos, a horse track and local officials.
