The following statement is attributed to Josh Kraft, candidate for Mayor of Boston:

“Spending over $100 million in taxpayer dollars on a project that will primarily benefit a private entity is a bad idea, regardless of the legal outcome today. White Stadium could be refurbished for the exclusive use of BPS kids for one-third of that price. Taxpayer dollars are going to be scarce going forward and there are so many pressing needs – housing, money for schools, tax relief for seniors, to name a few – that should be prioritized over this project. It made little sense when the Mayor first pushed for this and it makes little sense today.”
