Dive Brief:

• Peter Welsh, executive vice president of Suffolk Construction, is leaving Boston's largest construction firm.
• The Boston Globe reports Welsh was "closely allied" with former mayor Thomas M. Menino, but is no longer welcome at City Hall under Mayor Martin J. Walsh.
• There are conflicting reports about whether Welsh was terminated by the company or left of his own will.

Dive Insight:

The Globe report relies heavily on anonymous sources. They paint a picture of a construction executive who once had significant pull in Boston's City Hall, but is on the outs with a new administration.

During the mayoral campaign, Walsh pledged to overhaul troubled city agencies, and he laid off 14 employees of the Boston Redevelopment Authority earlier this year. The authority oversaw a number of city projects that were given to Suffolk Construction during the Menino administration. Welsh also "campaigned hard" for Walsh's opponent in the primary election, the Globe reported.
