	Massachusetts senators are set to begin a fifth day of debate on a bill that would bring casino gambling to the state. It’s been an ongoing political fight in Boston...that could have a big climax today. Connecticut’s casinos, both Foxwoods and Mohegan Sun, draw visitors from throughout the northeast. Supporters say the casinos would create new jobs in the state while opponents don’t think it would create enough jobs to make it worth it.
