Attorney general questions Rosemont decision 3/26/2004 (Maura Kelly, AP ) CHICAGO -- Attorney General Lisa Madigan on Thursday threatened to stop a proposed deal that would put the state's 10th casino in Rosemont, saying the suburb and its mayor may have mob ties. "There appear to be connections that Don Stephens and the city of Rosemont had to organized crime," Madigan said. "It's certainly something that needs to be looked at and it is something that, whoever the operator of the casino is, if that casino is going to be located in Rosemont, they have to show how they're going to be able to overcome any influence of Don Stephens, potentially any influence to organized crime." Madigan said she is reserving the option to resume a license revocation hearing, which would stop the sale of the state's 10th and only unused casino license by the bankrupt Emerald Casino to Isle of Capri Casinos, which like Emerald plans to build in the northwest Chicago suburb. The Illinois Gaming Board on March 15 ignored the advice of its staff and picked Mississippi-based Isle of Capri's Rosemont proposal over two other companies that wanted to build elsewhere.
