Gov. Rod Blagojevich's suggestion that he might overhaul or even eliminate the Illinois Gaming Board drew warnings Friday from the gambling industry, which said doing so without legislative approval could violate state law, and criticism from a key lawmaker, who said the governor wasn't providing enough details.

The state's gambling regulatory board has been unable to take any official action for the past six months, ever since resignations left it with only two members -- one short of a quorum. The result has been millions of dollars in construction and untold numbers of jobs left on hold.
