Mayor Not Happy About Financial Aid For Fenway Park Area

Menino Feels Financial Aid Plan
Caters Too Much Towards Red Sox

Boston Mayor Tom Menino said that the $55M earmarked by the Massachusetts state Senate to improve the area around Fenway Park “is too accommodating to the Red Sox and shortchanges more critical city transportation needs,” according to Palmer & Lewis of the BOSTON GLOBE. Menino’s comments are the “first sign of a split” on the issue and were “aimed not only at legislators but also at Red Sox management.” Menino: “The city’s not happy with the overall plan. The numbers don’t match up with the city’s plan.” Red Sox spokesperson Doug Bailey said, “We’ve worked with the neighborhood all along with this project. We will need to sit down with the mayor and discuss exactly what his problems with the package are.” Palmer & Lewis note the improvements are expected to be released today by the Senate Ways & Means Committee and “are part of the so-called Commonwealth Investment Act, which will be debated by the full Senate on Thursday and is expected to pass overwhelmingly” (BOSTON GLOBE, 11/1).
