Same.
Here in MA they have a few more manufactured paid holidays for state government.
Patriots' Day - a state holiday sometime in April. Something I never heard of until I transplanted here. I guess it's to commemorate the battles of Lexington and Concord.
Let's not stop there. Suffolk County (the county where Boston and the surrounding areas are located) gets Bunker Hill Day off, that's sometime in June.
If these bogus things are holidays why not the Monday after the Superbowl? A good chunk of folks are too hungover to work anyway.
