Boston Olympics booster pay detailed

It turns out trying to land the Olympics can be lucrative business – or at least decent consulting fees for those with political juice.

This week Boston 2024 – the city’s chief Olympic boosters – released salary and consultancy financial information after calls for fiscal transparency, perhaps most notably from Boston Mayor Marty Walsh, who supports the bid. Transparency, or lack thereof, has been a common refrain for critics of the Olympics, who say those who are pushing for the 2024 Summer Games have not been straightforward about the cost and ripple effect the Olympics could have on the city and region.

Boston 2024 has bowed to that pressure, releasing a slew of financial details which revealed former Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick will be paid $7,500 per day for his consultancy role with the bid.

“Governor Patrick has a passionate voice and unbridled enthusiasm for promoting Boston and Massachusetts to the world and believes the Olympic and Paralympic Games can greatly benefit the commonwealth,” said Boston 2024 COO Erin Murphy in a statement. “We are thrilled that he has agreed to help our team. Governor Patrick will not be a full-time salaried employee but will be compensated based on the amount of his travel and efforts on behalf of Boston 2024 – the extent of which has not been determined at this time. When he does travel on our behalf he will be compensated at a rate of $7,500 per day.”
