Election Ballot Debate Series: Should Mass. Allow A Second Slots Parlor License?

Part 3 of our special Election Ballot Debate Series, hosted along with UMass Boston and The Boston Globe. 

We discuss ballot Question 1, which proposes a change to the state's casino law that would allow the state's Gaming Commission to award a second slots parlor license.

We asked the two groups involved in this issue to offer their representative to participate in this debate.
