Boston’s bid to host the 2024 Summer Games ended Monday after seven months and millions of dollars spent, ending an effort racked by debate, public relations blunders, and limited public support.
Bid organizers and the US Olympic Committee jointly agreed to pull the bid after Mayor Martin J. Walsh declared at a hastily scheduled news conference that he was not yet ready to put city taxpayers on the hook for any costs related to the Games if local Olympic organizers ran out of money.
