RELATIVE TO A BALLOT REFERENDUM CONCERNING SPORTS BETTING WITHIN THE CITY OF
NASHUA
Given its second reading;
MOTION BY ALDERMAN O’BRIEN FOR FINAL PASSAGE OF R-21-151, BY ROLL CALL
ON THE QUESTION
President Wilshire
Alderman O’Brien.
Alderman O’Brien
And may | speak briefly to the matter? Thank you Madam President. | feel this is important to get this on the
ballot. As many of you know and | state this for the folks at home, both Boston Billiards and the River really
contribute an awful lot of money to the charities of our community. It alleviates us, as you Know, as we just got
through budget season. We look at the budget book and we still help out charities but this really dulls the knife
sort to speak and kind of makes it easier for worthwhile charities to get this. Does this sports betting go to the
charities? The answer is no. But it’s part of the door opener, people that will come into these establishments
hopefully will play a game of chance and take some of their disposable income in which entices the charities.
So therefore, | think it goes hand-in-hand and | urge you all to support this matter. Thank you.
