3. Thanks for keeping this fiasco in the public eye.

Bad idea start to finish. We don't want this boondoggle. Again and again people say no and the committee keeps pushing. Do they think the residents are stupid? This bid, if Boston is chosen, will cost billions and we all know it.
The fact that there were NO public hearings should tell you who and what this is all about. $$$ for big business, $$$ debt for those of us in the state.

As to your question to MADem, F-1 races on our public highways also sounds like another nightmare, just on a smaller scale. Who thinks up this stuff anyway? Race cars tearing up downtown Boston. Why???

As for benefit to the kids....sure, we believe that too.
