On Thursday, City Council will vote to officially allow the Sixers to build a new arena in Market East, right next to Chinatown. There’s still many questions like how did Mayor Cherelle Parker muscle this deal through, and why did City Council fail to negotiate to get more money from the Sixers for the community? Host Trenae Nuri is joined by Denise Clay-Murray, co-host of Philadelphia Hall Monitor, to break this down and talk about other storylines to follow in Philly politics for 2025.
