It’s time for Boston Mayor Michelle Wu to come clean on her own bloated budget. Since she wouldn’t come clean on the commercial tax hike plan – which is now dead in the water in the Legislature – maybe she’ll be more forthcoming about the $4.

Councilor Ed Flynn wants the Inspector General to look into why he and his colleagues voted on "inaccurate data."

The hot button plan was negotiated by the city and the business community for months but ultimately killed by South Boston State Senator Nick Collins, who slammed the data behind the bill, saying it was false information. Collins received campaign funding from real estate officials, public records show.

In a major escalation of the controversy surrounding Boston Mayor Michelle Wu’s defeated commercial tax hike plan, a Boston city councilor is asking the state Inspector General to step in and potentially investigate why Wu provided “outdated and inaccurate” tax assessing data to the council and state Legislature to try and win over elected officials.
