Thanks for this. Yeah, the assertions being made by our city’s fearless leadership, as usual, do not line up with reality. But the real question is why did the city press not point this out sooner. Perhaps the same reasons why they did not bother to hammer the Mayor and city council on a whole host of issues. . .perhaps people don’t read the news anymore.

I think the smartest thing said about this whole autocratic process is, do not even think about making money on the Olympics. Think of it as throwing a party, and parties cost money. I’m not opposed to throwing a party. Just don’t make it seem like we’re doing this as a public service to benefit you, the taxpayer, in the forms of jobs, infrastructure improvements, and econ dev for the blighted neighborhoods, yet more city beautification for the nicer ones.

Especially with the city’s track record on official graft, waste, spending on capital projects being what it is. I’m even less confident with the Mayor’s friends involved.
