Scot Lehigh doesn't like the Tom Menino on display during the whole Tall Ships fiasco.

OK, so now we know the authority had $1 million just sort of sitting there, at least until Patrick and Menino came up with the plan to use it for controlling those notably rowdy Tall Ships fans.

Mike Mennonno notes that the five-day use of the slush pile is twice what it would cost to continue operating the Boston Police Department's mounted unit for an entire year:

Seems the Convention Center Authority was sitting on $1 million it really didn't have any other use for, so that'll pay for the security and stuff without which no large event in Boston can happen, the Globe reports. Of course, the crowds won't be quite as large given that the event starts July 8, which means it's kind of late to get any tourists to come to Boston for the whole thing. Oh, and officials would only talk to the Globe under cover of anonymity because it seems the first time authority board members will hear about the plan is when they pick up the paper this morning.

Sail Boston said it will scale back the Tall Ships event [Boston Globe], in an apparent compromise with Menino.

As discussed yesterday [UH], Sail Boston previously implied they would proceed with the full event despite missing a City deadline to demonstrate that they could cover public safety costs. The City estimated these costs at $2 million.
