For the first half of the hour, Dan continues talking about the push to make Eid al-Fitr an official Boston city holiday:
Boston City Councilor Tania Fernandes Anderson is pushing to make Eid al-Fitr, a day that marks the end of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, an official city holiday. If the holiday is approved, that does not necessarily mean the city will get the day off. Is it about time that Boston recognizes Eid al-Fitr as an official city holiday? Are there other holidays that should be recognized too? City Councilor Tania Fernandes Anderson calls into NightSide to discuss the push to make Eid al-Fitr an official Boston city holiday.
Then, for the second half of the hour Dan dives into his second topic of the evening regarding the legalization of sports betting in MA:
“Betting” on a Change. Today the MA Senate began their debate on a bill that would legalize sports betting in the state. However, the bill up for debate would not permit collegiate sports betting. Where do you come down on this legislation? Should collegiate sports betting be included? Why or why not?
