STATE HOUSE — Midway into a review of pay-to-play daily fantasy sports, Attorney General Maura Healey said she will leave it to lawmakers to decide whether to continue to permit the relatively novel form of gaming in the state.
"What I have said is important is that there needs to be a decision as to whether or not this industry be permitted to continue here in Massachusetts," Healey told the News Service Tuesday night. She said her office has received documents from DraftKings, based in Boston, and from FanDuel, a New York-based fantasy sports site.
How immigrants impact the American economy is a question open to, often fierce, debate. Do immigrants take American jobs or complement American workers? Do they contribute to our fiscal coffers or drain them by over-consuming benefits?
Although these important questions are unlikely to be answered definitively any time in the near future, there is one topic – immigrant entrepreneurship – where most everyone seems excited. Why not? If immigrants can come here and create a business that makes more jobs, then perhaps this is the ultimate free lunch. The Obama administration (White House Startup America), many states, and lots of cities are thus pursuing initiatives to attract immigrant entrepreneurs.
