| Boston's 2024 Olympics idea criticized by civic, political leaders
BOSTON,[url=http://www.xirland.com]christian louboutin sale[/url], March 6 () -- A proposed effort to bring the 2024 Summer Olympics to Boston has been derided by civic and political leaders.After organizer Eric Reddy expressed optimism for the project after a meeting with City Hall leaders earlier in the week, others were critical of the $3 billion idea, the Boston Herald reported Wednesday."I don't think our resources should be diluted by going after something so far out," said John Fish, a construction company executive and top supporter of Boston Mayor Thomas Merino. "If someone wanted to pour $1 billion into our healthcare or education system or the life sciences industry,[url=http://www.supratksocietyvip.com/]supra tk society[/url], I'd be all for that discussion."Dot Joyce, the mayor's spokeswoman, downplayed the meeting with Reddy's group, calling the proposal "a far-fetched idea, but the city meets with thousands of people every day that have ideas.""It's a cost we cannot afford. We need those resources for other purposes," added Stephen Freyer, chairman of a group that explored Boston's Olympic feasibility in the 1990s. |
