Sen. Phil Berger talks casinos, redistricting and holiday traditions

After a marathon legislative session ends, the most powerful North Carolina politician and Senate President Pro Tem Phil Berger joins host Tim Boyum. The two hold an in-depth conversation about the current fight over casinos in North Carolina, with some behind-the-scenes discussion about his support, and why it failed at the last minute.    Later, Tim asks about the fairness of redistricting, separation of powers, and working in today’s political climate. The end of the podcast features a little fun, and a look at Sen. Berger’s favorite holiday traditions.
