马萨诸塞州的人们是否应该允许超级碗硬币抛弃？

必须给他们道具：由于对这个问题不寻常的关注的人可能会记住，马萨诸塞州游戏委员会在去年超级碗前夕也考虑了同样的问题。

It’s Friday — one week from Valentine’s Day. (Hint, hint.)

现在是星期五 - 情人节一周。 （提示，提示）。

We have lots of news below on how the impacts of President Trump’s administration continue to ripple across Massachusetts, from school sports to immigration to environmental policy.

我们下面有很多消息，了解特朗普总统政府的影响如何继续在马萨诸塞州，从学校体育到移民再到环境政策。

But first, let’s take a timeout to tackle one of the more trivial issues facing government: Should people in Massachusetts be allowed to bet on the Super Bowl coin toss?

但是首先，让我们暂停解决政府面临的更琐碎的问题之一：马萨诸塞州的人们是否应该押注超级碗硬币折腾？

Gotta give them props: As people who pay an unusual amount of attention to this issue may remember, the Massachusetts Gaming Commission considered the same question on the eve of last year’s Super Bowl. At the斯克鲁布time, they voted 3-2 to keep wagers on the Super Bowl’s pregame coin toss as a prop bet, which is off limits. But with the Super Bowl — the state’s biggest sports betting day of the year — coming up again this weekend, the commission decided to return to the subject yesterday.

必须给他们道具：由于对这个问题不寻常的关注的人可能会记住，马萨诸塞州游戏委员会在去年超级碗前夕也考虑了同样的问题。在斯克鲁布时，他们以3-2投票通过将赌注放在超级碗前的硬币折腾上，这是一个不受限制的道具下注。但是随着超级碗（一年中最大的体育博彩日）在本周末再次出现，委员会决定昨天返回该主题。

Don’t put that shovel away: Another snowstorm is headed our way this weekend — and it’s likely to be quite bigger than the few inches we got yesterday. According to meteorologist Danielle Noyes, it looks like most places in Massachusetts will see “between 6 inches and a foot of snow.” The National Weather Service predicts the chance Boston gets at least 6 inches at 91%. (See their snow forecast map here.)

不要把那把铲子放下：这个周末的另一场暴风雪正在前进 - 它可能比我们昨天得到的几英寸大。气象学家丹尼尔·诺伊斯（Danielle Noyes）表示，马萨诸塞州的大多数地方看起来都会看到“ 6英寸和一英尺的雪”。国家气象局预测，波士顿的机会至少6英寸，为91％。 （请参阅此处的降雪预测地图。）

On Beacon Hill: The future of Massachusetts’ emergency shelter system is now in the state Senate’s hands. House lawmakers passed their version of Gov. Maura Healey’s $425 million shelter funding bill, which also includes tighter eligibility requirements and other major changes aimed at shrinking the size of the program.

Fare-free in the valley: The Merrimack Valley Transit authority is making its buses fare-free permanently. The advisory board for MeVa — which serves the Lawrence area — voted on the policy yesterday, after reviewing a report on the benefits of going fare-free in 2022. WBUR’s Andrea Perdomo-Hernandez has more details here.
