Hear both sides of Prop. 27: Allowing online sports betting throughout California

This week the News Fix is focusing on California ballot measures. Today you're going to hear about Prop. 27, which would allow online and mobile sports betting throughout the state. Under Prop. 27, gaming companies would be required to partner with a California tribe, and some of its revenue would go towards homeless services. The measure is funded by online betting companies FanDuel and DraftKings. It is supported by some advocates for the homeless and the mayors of Fresno, Oakland, Sacramento and Long Beach. It is opposed by a long list of tribes and tribal casinos, the California Teachers Association and many others. Both campaigns have websites you can visit for more information. Both campaigns met with The San Diego Union-Tribune's editorial board recently to share their perspectives and answer questions. In this episode, you'll first hear from Yes on 27, followed by No on 27.
