This whole Olympic proposal was nothing more than a money making scheme for big biz. We, the people, did not want it and we won! Thanks to all those who worked to get this bid off the table. Massachusetts has enough problems without adding the Olympics to the picture.

It will be years before we recover from some of the other boondoggles--like the big dig--.
We don't need and thankfully will not have the Olympics.

Back to Greece permanently, my opinion.
