FILE - In this Jan. 9, 2009 file photo Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich arrives at a news conference in Chicago. A federal appeals court has taken on the issue of pay-to-play corruption in Illinois under disgraced ex-Gov. Blagojevich. The U.S. 7th Circuit Court of Appeals reinstated a lawsuit by riverboat casinos in a ruling Friday, Aug. 15, 2014. The suit alleges that racetrack owners bribed Blagojevich to push through legislation that transferred 3 percent of casino revenue to the racetracks. The Chicago-based court says the case required it to "once again to decide whether some shenanigans" in the Legislature "and governor's office crossed the line from the merely unseemly to the unlawful."
