A casino in Rochester? The city is considering a pair of proposals for a performing arts center, and one of them is tied to a downtown casino.
Local ministers have voiced disapproval, and Mayor Lovely Warren has accused them of essentially being paid off. They say that's untrue, and they oppose a casino on the merits.
We talk to ministers, as well as a city representative about what happens next. Our guests:
- Pastor Marlowe Washington, The Historic Parsells Church
- Minister Clifford Florence, Central Church of Christ
- James Smith, director of the Bureau of Communications and Special Events for the City of Rochester
