Desiree Rogers Cashed In on Her Skin Color: Minority Set Aside Quota Investor In Casino Deal

Sneed in The Chicago Sun-Times reports:

Scoopsville: Guess whose name shows up in the list of minority investors in the Rivers Casino, which is scheduled to open in Des Plaines next month: Former White House Social Secretary Desiree Rogers!

◆ Dem data: The principal owner of the casino, real estate mogul Neil Bluhm, is a top Dem fund-raiser.

◆ Due date: The Illinois Gaming Board is poised to vote on the list of minority investors Tuesday. (The Gaming Board license required that 20 percent of the investors be women and minorities.)

◆ A history note: This casino is the recipient of the state’s coveted 10th license, which originally was supposed to go to Rosemont.

No word yet on this on from Chicago Mob boss John "No Nose" DiFronzo or his "favorite" Attorney General Eric Holder.
