Lawmakers Put Money Where Their Mouths Are for Super Bowl Bet

State Rep.  Steven S. Howitt (R-Seekonk) and New York Assemblyman Dean Murray (R, C- East Patchogue, NY) are putting their money where their mouths are with their food-based Super Bowl wager.

Instead of the usual financial stakes, Rep. Howitt and Assemblyman Murray have agreed to provide a feast from their respective districts.

If the the Patriots win, Murray will present Rep. Howitt with the best food the 3rd Assembly District from New York has to offer.

If the Patriots should lose, Rep. Howitt will be sending Assemblyman Murray a delicious New England-style dinner of stuffed lobster and New England clam chowder from Venus de Milo, a restaurant from Rep. Howitt’s district in Swansea.

 “I’m glad to promote a local business, Venus de Milo, but I don’t expect the Patriots to lose. Hopefully on Sunday I’ll be the one with a feast from Assemblyman Murray,” said Rep. Howitt in a release.

Assemblyman Murray said, “In the highly unlikely event the Patriots win, I will provide Rep. Howitt with a feast, courtesy of Suffolk County’s best cooks and chefs.”
