In a statement, Baker and the legislative leaders said they are seeking an independent analysis of Boston 2024’s plan – specifically the potential for costs, responsibilities and potential risks of overruns – to be borne by state and local government.

The administration said it expects to select a consultant near the end of April and has capped the cost of a report due in July at $250,000.
