Reaching a deal on a state budget may hinge on "meaningful" medical malpractice reforms that doctors long have been seeking, Gov. Blagojevich said Thursday. The governor also hinted strongly during an interview with the Chicago Sun-Times editorial board that he will overhaul the Illinois Gaming Board, which is under fire for its March decision to route the state's only available casino license to Rosemont, even though the board's staff recommended the license go elsewhere. There is one vacancy on the five-member panel, and the terms of chairman Elzie Higginbottom and member Violet Clark expire June 30.
