At first glance this might not be a bad idea....10-26-2011 Connecticut:
As Halloween fast approaches, one Connecticut lawmaker has proposed that it be observed each year on the last Saturday in October, rather than on the 31st. State Rep. Tim Larson suggested that it would be easier for working families, safer for children, and better for the economy.
”Halloween is a fun night for the whole family, but not so much when you have to race home from work, get the kids ready for trick or treating, welcome the neighborhood children, and then try to get everyone to bed for an early school and work morning,” Larson said.
Governor Malloy is not in favor of the idea and was worried “about confusing the ghosts, goblins, and witches.” Larson acknowledges that this issue is not the most pressing one for the people of Connecticut, but he feels it makes sense and could create some jobs, too. Each year, Americans spend $7 billion on Halloween-related merchandise. ..Source.. by Olivia
