Attorney General Maura Healey announced a deal today in which the national IndyCar organization will reimburse fans who paid for tickets to the failed Boston Grand Prix race - and that her office is suing the local promoters to try to recoup those payments.
Healey heaped praise on the national concern: "They’ve gone above and beyond to be a productive part of this solution, and their fans will reap the benefits."
And she heaped scorn on Boston Grand Prix, which recently filed for bankruptcy, and which she is now suing in Suffolk Superior Court: "Boston Grand Prix and its CEO knew full well when they marketed and sold this event that they didn’t have the resources or permits to make it happen. They failed to protect consumers, and we will do all we can to hold them accountable."
