SPORTS BETTING-DC
DC lawmakers vote to legalize sports betting
WASHINGTON (AP) — The D.C. Council has voted 11-2 to authorize betting on professional sports at the city’s stadiums and arenas, private businesses like restaurants and liquor stores and within the city limits on a mobile app. If approved by the mayor and Congress, the nation’s capital would become the first U.S. jurisdiction without casinos to authorize sports books.
Democratic Mayor Muriel Bowser supports the bill, which needs her signature to become law. It would also need to survive a review by Congress, but with Democrats taking over the House in January, the law from the Democratic-dominated city is almost certainly safe.
