On Principles & Values: Put an end to Boston's bid for summer Olympics

Boston Mayor Marty Walsh refused to sign the host city contract that would put taxpayers on the line for Olympic debts and told reporters that the opposition to the Olympic bid, which got more media attention than anything else during his mayorship, was "about ten people on Twitter." Then the US Olympic Committee pulled Boston from the running. Walsh explained that the costs outweighed the perceived benefits, and that "our citizens were rightly hesitant to be supportive."
