Pritzker halts sale of land for Tinley Park horse track casino after Tribune investigation – Chicago Tribune
Heidner’s plans had been cut short Tuesday morning by a terse letter from Gov. J.B. Pritzker’s administration informing Tinley Park officials that the piece of state-owned land Heidner needed for his “racino” project no longer was for sale. The letter came days after a Tribune investigation detailed Heidner’s longstanding business relationships with a banking family whose financial involvement with mob figures helped sink a Rosemont casino, as well as a convicted bookie.
