Daily Talker: New Olympic Plan

The group trying to bring the 2024 Olympics to Boston has released the most detailed look yet at its bid for the Summer Games.

It says its $4.6 billion plan would create jobs and housing, expand the tax base and leave behind an improved city with a $210 million surplus.

The announcement is designed to answer critics who say the privately funded Boston 2024 has withheld details of the bid to prevent the public from assessing whether the games could be staged without taxpayer money.

Bid chairman Steve Pagliuca, a co-owner of the Boston Celtics, says the new plan goes deeper than the proposal that convinced the USOC to pick Boston in January over Los Angeles, San Francisco and Washington.

Opponents say the latest version of the plans still fail to guarantee taxpayers won't foot the bill for cost overruns or revenue shortfalls.

The bid has stumbled since getting the nod from the USOC, with local opposition and low poll numbers.

What do you think of the new plan by Boston 2024 to host the Summer Olympics?  Does it change your opinion on whether you want the Olympics in Boston?
