Gov. Maura Healey is expected back in Massachusetts this weekend after spending about two weeks either in Ireland on official business or in Rhode Island on a personal trip, her office said Wednesday morning.
Legal betting will not be allowed in Mass. on this year s Boston Marathon after a bid from DraftKings was opposed by race organizers and gambling regulators.
The Boston Marathon will bring thousands of runners and spectators together along its historic 26.2-mile course from Hopkinton to Boylston Street on April 17 for its 127th running, and a sports betting company headquartered just the other side of Copley Square from the finish line is asking state regulators to let people bet on it legally for the first time.
