Straus Asks Olympics Supporters To Fund Review
As Bay State residents hear arguments on the potential pros and cons of hosting the Summer Olympics in 2024 one South Coast legislator is calling on Olympic supporters to fund any independent review that is undertaken to assess the Games' potential impact.
Representative William Straus (D-Mattapoisett) made the request on Monday, and told WBSM news that similar requests have been made in the past.
Straus is also asking Olympic supporters to put together a detailed list of their choices for sights that will serve as Olympic venues before their application is submitted to the International Olympic Committee.
