ListenGuests: Chris Brennan, Paul Clymer, and Richard McGowan
Five casino applicants are vying for Philadelphia’s last of two licenses. Proposals include locations in Center City and by the stadiums in South Philly.

Marty’s guests are CHRIS BRENNAN, political editor for the Philadelphia Daily News, State Representative PAUL CLYMER, a Republican representing the 145th District in Bucks County, and RICHARD MCGOWAN, Professor at Boston College and author of The Gambling Debate.
