Feigenbaum says the potential for expanded gaming in Ohio remains a threat.

Feigenbaum tells Inside INdiana Business a potential site in Danville, Illinois would have affected casinos in French Lick, Evansville and central Indiana.

A similar bill crafted last year was never sent to Gov. Quinn due to the threat of veto.
Lawmakers in the state still have the opportunity to override the veto.
