Senate gets gaming bill

The Senate Ways and Means committee introduced the bill to expand gambling in Massachusetts to an empty Senate chamber Friday.

No senators were in attendance at the informal session when the bill was read out of committee. All amendments to the bill need to be submitted by 5 p.m. Monday to be considered for the Wednesday vote. :confused:

[FONT=Franklin Gothic Medium]Yup, not sure what the point of reading the text of a bill to an empty room does unless it is mandatory as part of the proceedings to pass the bill. Maybe just to get it entered into the records? :confused:[/FONT]
