Lightfoot invites developers to table in first step of Chicago casino process

City officials on Thursday dealt out a formal request for information, a non-binding solicitation that’s the first step in what will be a years-long journey toward firing up the bright lights in Chicago — and turning on a new revenue stream to its depleted police and firefighter pension funds.
