I guess the mayor forgot to get
the nuts off the wagons
Just weeks before the Big Apple Circus rolled into Boston on March 15 and set up its big top in City Hall Plaza, a lawyer for the city threatened to pull its permit, warning in a letter that it was “seriously delinquent” in paying $205,000 in rental and service fees accrued since 2009.
The circus scrambled to cut checks, coughing up three payments totaling $125,000 between Feb. 26 and March 11 — four days before the start of a seven week run to cover service.
The Walsh administration said yesterday that rental fees have also gone unpaid for four years, amounting to $80,000.
It was reported yesterday that Matthew Cahill, head of the Boston Finance Commission, is urging Walsh to redo contracts cut with the organizers of large ticketed events, saying the city is losing a lot of money by giving away use of the space at bargain rates.
Maybe better negotiation skills or a sponsored date to eliminate the costly "rental fee!"
(... Just sayin')
