Falchuk: Senate must debate bi-partisan amendment on Olympics

Falchuk: Senate must debate bi-partisan amendment on Olympics

BOSTON – Following the news that Republican Senator Bob Hedlund (R-Weymouth) and Democratic Senator Michael Moore (D-Milbury) had filed the language of the United Independent Party’s "Act for a Private Sector Funded Olympics" in the Massachusetts Senate, UIP chairman, Evan Falchuk, called on the Senate to debate the measure this week as it takes up amendments to the budget.

"Only weeks after the House rejected this measure, and with billions of dollars at risk, it is up to the Senate to protect taxpayers,” said Falchuk.  “Taxpayers should be grateful for the leadership of Senators Hedlund and Moore, and should call their state senator and give him or her a simple message: debate this amendment.”

Evan Falchuk ran for Massachusetts governor in 2014. He is the founder and chairman of the state’s new United Independent Party, and is pursuing a statewide vote on “An Act for a Private Sector Funded Olympics,” which would bar the use of taxpayer money to support the proposed Boston 2024 Olympic Games.
