City councilors deserve a chance to get answers to questions about the proposed IndyCar Boston race this fall, City Councilor Bill Linehan says.
The council today approved his request to look at a possible hearing where councilors can pose questions to IndyCar organizers and city officials who are backing the plan to shut down streets around the South Boston convention center over Labor Day weekend for the race.

The council dropped the ball on reforming the BRA today.
All but three voted to extend urban renewal authorities another 6 years without any legal requirement for transparency or accountability or any other substantive reform.
