Just got off the phone with a state worker who tells me that no matter how ugly the details in my articles may be, the reality of what was spent was 10 times worse. There are indeed secret studies from before and after the World Cup circulating on Beacon Hill. We need those.

The Boston media really dropped the ball on this one, pun intended, but @BINJreports / @BINJdotNews isn't letting up. Our next story on the biggest overtime feast in Boston history drops later this week at binj.news. Support here: givebutter.com/binj
