Senate Defeats Beverly Holiday in Prohibitory Amendment Vote

In the General Court the Senate rejected making April 22 a legal holiday as part of a proposed prohibitory constitutional amendment. The debate focused on how to handle voting for the measure with or without a holiday, with opponents urging against holidays to boost turnout and ensure sober, broad participation. The vote to reconsider the holiday section failed 23 to 9, and the amended resolves moved toward a third reading.
