A Ten Taxpayer Group, consisting of members of the Friends of the Prouty Garden, intervened today in the Department of Public Health’s (DPH) process to determine the need for a more than $1 billion expansion at Boston Children’s Hospital (BCH). The Ten Taxpayer Group filed a lawsuit against the hospital, alleging that BCH has violated state law and regulation by proceeding with construction of and fundraising for the 12-story facility without obtaining necessary state approval. The suit calls on the state to halt all construction activity until the project -- the most expensive in state history -- receives all official approvals. Our attorney held a press conference outside the Suffolk Superior Court this afternoon to discuss the lawsuit with members of the press. This is a big and exciting day for supporters of the Prouty Garden! We hope you will help us continue this exciting momentum by joining us this Saturday, April 16th from 6:30 - 10 am in front of the hospital for another peaceful vigil to save the garden.
