Ungaretti & Harris Partner Sam Vinson Argues Before the Illinois Supreme Court
06/02/11
Ungaretti & Harris partner Sam Vinson represents Rockwell Wirtz, owner of the Chicago Blackhawks hockey team and Wirtz Beverage, in a lawsuit against the state of Illinois regarding the state's $31 billion capital construction program that was signed into law in 2009. At issue is the controversial revenue bill that would fund the construction projects; it contains sales tax increases on items including liquor and candy and a plan to legalize video gambling in Illinois. Wirtz is challenging the program under the Single Subject Rule of the Illinois Constitution that requires legislation dealing with appropriations be limited to one subject.
The case has been widely covered in the press. Follow the links below to see relevant articles including live recordings of the arguments:
