More Questions Raised On Boston's Sale Of Land To Mosque

In Boston, there has been ongoing controversy about a sale of land by the Boston Redevelopment Authority to the Islamic Society of Boston for the building of a mosque. ISB paid the BRA $175,000 cash and various in-kind public benefits for a parcel of land they publicly agreed was worth $401,000. A suit is pending challenging the constitutionality of the sale. Boston's Weekly Dig now says that it has documents indicating that the transferred land was really worth $2 million, thereby creating new questions about the transaction.
