Menino has reportedly said Thursday that he is seeking legal assistance to prevent the tankers from entering the harbor — and instead force them to unload away from the city as a security precaution.
“We’re in extraordinary times that call for extraordinary measures to ensure the safety of our city,” the mayor said in an interview with The Boston Globe newspaper.
