SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (AP) — Plans to expand gambling in Illinois were put on hold Friday when the backer of legislation proposing new casinos said he wouldn’t call the measure for a vote until he resolved lingering issues and had key support.

State Rep. Bob Rita, a Blue Island Democrat, said disputes over revenue sharing remained, and that he had yet to garner the full backing of Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel, Gov. Pat Quinn, the horse racing industry and local communities. He said the timing simply “was not right,” a decision that comes as lawmakers try to piece together a budget before adjourning this week for summer.
