Press Releases
Amidst more than two dozen Philadelphians calling out “revoke, don’t rebid,” the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board’s enforcement arm today filed a complaint to revoke the license of Foxwoods casino in South Philadelphia. Despite its direct impact on citizens of Philadelphia, questions from the public were neither solicited nor accepted by the board.
Foxwoods will have 30 days to respond to the PGCB’s complaint, at which point additional hearings will be scheduled, from which public input will continue to be excluded.
