There was no rest for the Quincy Quarry news team this past week as the wicked keep being – well – wicked.

In fact, we are looking at an all three levels of government trifecta of all manner of sordid activities …

And on the state level, a total of a dozen more state troopers’ overtime pay receipts are under now also investigation as well as that has long been expected by the Quarry, the feds appear to be looking to assert jurisdiction over at least some of the troubling activities within at least certain units of the Massachusetts State Police.
