New McCormick work rules expected

Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn, left, was expected to sign legislation Monday that would overhaul McCormick Place work rules and give Chicago convention center exhibitors more rights in setting up their displays, media outlets were reporting Sunday. A spokeswoman for the National Restaurant Association, which is only committed to Chicago for the NRA Restaurant, Hotel & Motel Show through 2011, said Sunday afternoon that the group had not confirmed Quinn would be signing the law on Monday during the show at McCormick Place.

UPDATE: Gov. Quinn did not sign the overhaul legislation Monday, saying he was still looking into the bill.
