After the speaking program at the Boston Waterfront Cruise Terminal in South Boston last week, a young student from Catholic Academy came up to me and asked me, "Mr. Flynn, I heard all these people say how you were able to bring all these big passenger ships to come to Boston when you were mayor. I heard that for the first time, a Disney Ship is coming to Boston and taking people to Disneyland. That's cool. How did you do that?"
A couple of Mass. Port officials were standing beside me and I could see that they were anxiously waiting to hear how I would respond to the question.
Congressman James McGovern was able to catch his plane out of Logan Airport, and Lt. Gov. Karyn Polito had a chance to tout the benefits of central Massachusetts living after the two elected officials arrived in South Station on the first express train from Worcester on Monday morning.
"We can bring more people to the Worcester area," Polito, a Shrewsbury Republican, told a crowd of media and officials assembled in the South Station lobby, saying Worcester offers an "affordable lifestyle."
