For the New England Aquarium in five museums in the city. The pilot payments made in lieu of property taxes add up, but not this year.

Speaker 5

Boston City Councilor Ed Flynn criticized the mayor for letting revenue owed the city slip away.

Speaker 6

I think these politics that does play a role in this, but I think It's important that every decision we make as a city is fiscally responsible and fiscally disciplined, whether it's an election year or non election year.

Speaker 5

But Mayor Wu quick to rebutt Counsulor Flynn's criticism.

Speaker 7

This has been in the works for multiple years, and I've been clear on the campaign trail even in twenty twenty one. This is a better way for the cultural institutions to be giving value to the residents of our city.
