Lynn Swann Slams Ed Rendell on Pennsylvania Gambling Law

Former NFL star Lynn Swann, the Republican candidate for governor in Pennsylvania, says the gambling law in the state is completely flawed and mentions steps that must taken to before the awarding of any new slots licenses to casino gambling facilities.

In early August, Lynn Swann called on Gov. Ed Rendell to cease all official activities of the Gaming Control Board until the chaos in the gambling industry has stopped. Rendell has ignored all of Swann's calls to action up to this point, and Swann accuses the governor of changing his position on key issues throughout the campaign.

According to Swann, "rather than addressing the numerous deficiencies in the gambling law, he has proposed only 4 changes which he claims will fix the gambling law problems."
