Quincy Quarry Weekly Fish Wrap: The calm before The Fall?

Things are brewing in the South Shore, brewing bitter.

The Braintree Police Chief was forced into retirement over damning problems with evidence as well as that its Deputy Chief was then put on paid leave.

Will the alleged double and sometimes even triple dipper give rise to at least the same sort of managerial upheaval in the Q? 

After all, federal felony charges have been filled against the alleged Dipper whereas the Braintree brass are probably just looking at trouble over apparently having run a sloppy shop.

And as for other possibly pending problems in the Q, City Hall has gone conditional as to the anticipated completion of the running almost a year late and probably also going over budget Hancock Street Misalignment project; specifically, that it could perhaps not be completed by the end of this year’s construction season and so perhaps linger unfinished until next year.

That and how multiple reports have it that underground utility work in front of City Hall is looking to run upwards of around a million more than the original $4.2 million state grant that was provided to cover the work.

If this latest rumored Koched-up project cost overrun is true, expect local taxpayers to yet again be sodded to cover up things.

Speaking of costs, the Quincy Quarry Finance and Economics desk is currently projecting a potential increase in local 2017 residential property tax bills as mostly likely running around at least as large as was this year’s roughly 5.5% increase, with as much as a 7.6% – or even greater – increase in 2017 within the realm of at least perhaps.

In any event, expect official word from the City Hall Grinch by no later than mid-December as to what to expect for the 2017 mordida.

In the meanwhile, the ever growing legions of Quincy Quarry readers are urged to prepare themselves for the 2017 residential property tax increase by preparing themselves to be hit by the over.
