***************************************
State Sen. Steve Rauschenberger [R- Elgin]: I think a lot of legislators, including myself, would support a casino complex in Chicago under the right set of conditions and understanding how the resources were going to be used.
*****************************************
State Senator Steve Rauschenberger is featured on “Public Affairs,” in the suburbs this week [Comcast Cable, Week of Jan. 10]. A partial transcript of the show with Senator Rauschenberger is included, below. See the conclusion of this blog entry for a detailed suburban airing schedule. The show also airs throughout the City of Chicago this coming Monday night [Jan. 17 at 8:30 pm on Cable Ch. 21].
*******************************************
Jeff Berkowitz: Sounds like you are going to be a candidate for Governor—
Sen. Steve Rauschenberger: I am very excited and I am very excited for the State of Illinois.
Berkowitz: Sounds like you are going to try to be the Republican candidate for Governor to oppose Governor Rod Blagojevich, assuming he does not face a primary challenge or assuming he survives it if there is…. Let us know in June if you have decided to run, is that the decision date?
Rauschenberger: No, who knows when it will be, but it will probably be in the summer.
Berkowitz: Casinos. Should Mayor Daley be given a casino that he owns, that he controls?
Rauschenberger: No. No. I don’t think--
Berkowitz: Should there be a casino in Chicago, at all.
Rauschenberger: I think a lot of legislators, including myself, would support a casino complex in Chicago under the right set of conditions and understanding how the resources were going to be used.
*****************************************************
Berkowitz: You’re OK with more casinos.
Rauschenberger: It’s not my first choice, but if people are asking me if I could support them under the appropriate—
Berkowitz: You don’t want them to be owned by the mayor-- of the City of Chicago?
Rauschenberger: I don’t think the mayor of Chicago—
Berkowitz: He should not be controlling.
Rauschenberger: Right, exactly. Now, it is one thing for the people of the City of Chicago to own it. I don’t have as much of a problem with that—
Berkowitz: CTA Funding. Should the State jump in and bail out the CTA?
Rauschenberger: I think we need to take an honest look at the CTA’s structural problems. Their Dial a Ride—their responsibilities to disabled customers are a major problem. They may need some fare box recovery. I think we ought to talk to the CTA…but some of us are a little tired with the City’s kind of full court press.
Berkowitz: Guns, Guns. Would you like to see a ban on assault weapons? There was one on the federal, it wasn’t renewed. Would you like the State to step in and provide a ban on assault weapons?
Rauschenberger: I am very comfortable with the current state of gun laws. I think what we need to do is enforce the ones we have.
Berkowitz: Did you support the override of the Wilmette gun control ordinance [that provides for prosecution of residents who possess guns- even when they are used against home invaders.]
Rauschenberger, Yes, I did.
Berkowitz: Gun owners should be allowed to defend themselves [against home invaders] without being prosecuted for illegal possession of guns?
Rauschenberger: Absolutely.
