MBTA to save Boston 2024 Olympics bid?
The Boston Business Journal reports that the Boston 2024 Committee claims that the MBTA is a top flight public transit system and that the T’s stellar performance will be surely prove to be the key factor in sealing the deal for its bid to host the 2024 Olympics.
The spin and performance stats cited in the Boston 2024 puff piece were so creatively kited that Quincy Quarry cannot help but assume that the financial alchemists in Quincy’s City Hall had a roll in their creation.
Unfortunately, publication deadlines as well as the standard expectation of stonewalling by City Hall precluded the Quarry from duly investigating this entirely valid surmise.

The T is great? Tell that to all the people who had to commute on its dino-cars this winter!
Quincy center is also beautiful despite the missing trees, the bulldozers, huge holes in the ground and Jersey barriers EVERYWHERE!!! Let’s also remember how all of the streets and sidewalks in Quincy were plowed to the pavement as well as curb to curb this past winter.
Yes and the economy is booming! Quincy’s mayor comes in on budget on his projects. Taxes will never go up for property owners in Quincy.
And do I ever have a deal for you on a bridge in Brooklyn!
