Former MA Governor Patrick to head 'Boston 2024' for $7500.00 a day.

I am a MA resident and in my own way, supported Governor Patrick during his terms in office.
This announcement today has me floored. $7,500.00 a day. Sorry Gov.,I cannot believe you or anyone else is worth that much money for a voice in bringing the Olympics to Boston in 2024.

IMO: I am not a supporter of Boston as a site for the Olympics. My feeling was made when the bid was first announced. We cannot handle it, cannot afford it, do not need it.
