a could you -- copy of the report. >> reporter: it's the place to be in downtown boston. >> it's beautiful. >> reporter: this stretch of fountain, flowers, and green grass over seen by the greenway conservancy that get two $000,000 of taxpayer money to maintain the park n a recent anonymous report by the so- called greenway one example? this floating sculpture. budgeted at $500,000, it soared to $1.7 million last summer. >> that is surprising. >> whoever is doing the books needs to learn more math. >> reporter: they claim that the greenway improperly use the taxpayer money to cover the overrun. >> i think the right thing to do is 40% of the fund that is come from the public is to look

no merit to the claim. >> reporter: they argued that the project was covered by donors, and despite the huge cost, the commission, with its own members, found no problems. >> the members of the public should feel strongly about the stewardship of those funds. >> reporter: the state said they are looking forward to reading the report. the lease runs out next summer, about how much taxpayers will subsidize this stretch of park. >> and you should note wbz is a media partner with the non- profits that oversees the greenway. tonight, we have an accu- weather alert for new england. >> we're expecting heavy rainfall starting tomorrow morning, and eric, because of this drought, it could cause problems in areas. the ground is rock hard because we have seen so little

for so long and we have had heavy rainfall that can runoff quickly and cause flash flooding. here is an updated drought monitor. you can see the rainfall deficits, 8" in worcester and 6" in boston, and the darker brown shading is where we have the driest conscious and the smallest likelihood of heavier rainfall tomorrow. so, unfortunately, an area that we would like to see heavier rain doesn't look like going back to may of last year, a 13" rainfall deficit and what i am expecting for tomorrow is the heaviest rain is focused towards the south coast, cape, islands, south eastern massachusetts, and connecticut and rhode island. if the the heaviest bands come on shore off the ocean, we could see 3 to 4 tote - totals. the pike, lighter rainfall there.

tomorrow. more on that coming up the week paula? >> thank you. a cape cod businessman who turned a single store into a giant retail store has died, losing his battle with pancreatic cans or tuesday. he expanded the yarmouth gift shop into a well-known new england brand. he was 79 years old. it tonight, the final night of the democratic national convention where hillary clinton will accept the nomination for president. each night we have seen the delegates on the floor but what is off the floor? liam martin is giving us a behind-the-scenes look. >> reporter: looking around today, david, a lot of the delegates looked tired. many arrived on sunday and had

after the speeches made at night. we want to take you around the list fargo center and give you a look at what is looks like. before the crowds stream into the arena, they must go through security, a few hundred yards from the main entrance and in stifling heat head to the wells fargo center. once inside, it's a crush of media. many are wandering the hallways hoping to see a famous face the food lines are long and people want to go home with dnc swag. hats, buttons, posters all selling fast and once on the convention floor itself, it's busy in the mornings with the preparations. if you are wondering how they

they've on the seats, and once hillary clinton accepts the nomination, the balloons are ready to go. cbs news' bob schieffer who has been doing this for 20 years. >> this year without question is unusual. every election is different. this is the most into this campaign that we haven't seen anything really quite like that. >> reporter: as unusual as this election season has been, it's very tight. the latest polls show donald trump and clinton effectively tried, trump getting a slight bump after the gop convention last week and hillary and her team hoping for the same after this one. david and paula? >> all right. thank you.

interesting. liam martin, thank you. and jon keller here, and jon, i have seen at least 10 articles of what hillary must do. everyone has their own ideas about what she should say to make tonight a success, paula. but i have a few suggestions about what she shouldn't say. for instance, don't over do the trump bashing. her surrogates did a fine ratings are through the roof. why not just draw sharp comparisons between what she would do and he would do and leave it at that. comparative criticism can be effective without being too harsh. don't forget the swing voters you need to speak to most. in the latest news poll, 7 out of 10 independents think our country is on the wrong track,

large margin. a final no-no. don't yell. that microphone works just fine. instead, use your indoor voice to convey knowledge, passion, and too much to ask for a little humor? by doing that, secretary clinton with offer a positive contrast to trump and maybe win a few skepticle voters. >> you ar microphone, to the people watching on tv, not the hall. >> just ask howard dean. >> what about friday morning? what's next? she can't control the bump she gets. what's the next job? >> we have two months until the first debate, september 26. you can't throw those two months away. i think we will see more of the same. the race is so tight and

the diname -- dynamic is uncertain. >> 100 days until election day. hope we can survive it. >> who's counting? >> jon keller, thank you so much. >> can't come fast inust. paul and jon, thank you. there was an overwhelming response to help an abused dog who chewed off part of his dog, $57,000 in donation to help maverick people have called or e-mailed to ask about adopting him. maverick is recovering from a successful surgery. and adoption applications will be accepted until saturday. you can just go to cbsboston.com. we predicted there would be people lining up, and they are. >> you think dogs are aware when they end up in a happy home, how lucky they? >> i don't think my dog is too aware of anything. >> except the next meal.

well, everywhere you go these days, people are talking politics but could you imagine dating someone on the other side of the aisle? >> reporter: when it comes to finding love, people look for different qualitiess in a partner. >> nice and respectful and kind. >> reporter: fo comes with deal breakers. >> i would not date a girl that was a hillary fan. >> if you are on a date with someone who feels that the sky is orange and someone else feels it's blue, where do you come from that? it might be good for a one- nightstand. >> it seems to be very, very different. >> reporter: and that got us asking about a delegate subject. is it possible to date across

but you are not going to agree with everybody in life and agree to disagree and move on because there are a million other wonderful things. >> her best advice, she said respect each other, be a good listener or you may miss out. governor baker talks about how are his father is a republican and his mother a democrat and at the dinner table they taught him to be disagreeing without being disagreeable. >> if you are attracted enough for someone, it won't matter. >> you will vote for whoever. >> i think it will probably work but not in the long run. the weather watcher's network, let's talk about the rain prospects and heat. the heat, low 90s again today and certainly, plenty warm outside tonight. how about the rain? karen in westminster said hope we get in on the rain in north central mass. unfortunately, one of the spots i don't feel great about the

i think the farther south we go, that's when you will get in the higher zone. let's take a look at tonight. temperatures, the last really hot day for a while. many towns topping 90. 90 in norwood and 85 in plymouth, and it's getting humid with the dew point at 74 in chatham, soupy air there. what we're watching is the storm system developing off to the south and at the same time, a few thunderstorms before that main system. we have downpours just straddling the line at the merrimack river, the north side. a few rumbles of thunder, much- needed rainfall and this picture from greg looking north and west, you can see the gray shading at the bottom, the rain falling from the storm. there's your appetizer. this is the main event gathering to the south and west

spread the area tonight. the clouds fill in, humid, and rain after midnight and looking at temperature that is hold in the 70s, and then we head into the day tomorrow. this is a system you would very much see in the winter time, so late tonight, the rain starts to fill in, and tomorrow morning, many of us seeing light to have moderate rainfall and mid to late morning, we have the best chance of heavier rain in the afternoon. when i say it's like a wint i think the heaviest rain will track along the south coast and the cape, and i think the heaviest rain will miss northern massachusetts and new hampshire, might get a few showers here. if we go from .1" here to 4 to 5" along the immediate south coast. a big difference and the rain

where the heaviest rain will fall here and i think the overall biggest total, towards the south coast and the islands. new bedford, fall river most at risk for flash flooding. so the main issue from the runoff and heavy rain creating flash flooding on the roads. temperatures in the 70s tomorrow and we'll look at sunshine on day, a bright day. on sunday, we have rain showers starting to move back in as well as more cloud cover. the best chance of a shower on sunday, across central western mass and towards rhode island. eastern massachusetts may stay dry. a look at the weekend, 87 on saturday and a mix of sun and clouds, and sunday, a chance of showers and upper 70s with the additional cloud cover. here is the accu-weather 7-day forecast, next week, more showers possible on monday and

and cooler temperatures and an opportunity for some of the landscape to recharge. very much need. >> if you are sick of watering your floors, you get one day off. >> at least and hopefully more on sunday and sunday. the bad news is you didn't win last night's powerball, and the good news is no one else did. saturday's jackpot would be worth $478 million. the last time they won this, may 7. they are making it so the number of numbers. >> and just huge jackpots. when we return, the catch of a lifetime. >> wait until you see what one teen snagged. >> and at 6:00, breaking news from somerville, police protesting a black lives matter banner. all new at 6:00, we'll bring you it is latest from the investigation into the tragic death of a 7-year-old boy who
