No Fireworks For You!

Mitt Romney planned Boston Harbor fireworks show that was scotched by election loss

Mitt Romney had planned to celebrate his election as the nation’s 45th president with an eight-minute fireworks display over Boston Harbor.

The same company that does some of the illuminations for Boston’s Fourth of July celebration was poised to ignite fireworks within view of Romney’s party at the Boston Convention & Exhibition Center to celebrate a win over President Obama.

Such a display usually costs around $25,000, half for the fireworks and half for the permitting, barge, and other costs.

They'll pay $25,000 for that, but cancel the credit cards before staff can even get home. tanyev Nov 2012 #1
