Quincy Quarry Weekly Fish Wrap: Oh what a week it was!
 
As for things national, Quincy Quarry doesn’t know where to start.  As such, it will thus stick to matters more local.

Apparently, his cash flow has been whacked given federal indictments on fraud sorts of charges.

Then again, surely better days are ahead for Quincy Center.

After all, things couldn’t become all that much worse.

At least long suffering locals one can only hope so.

Not that such is likely to do anything whatsoever, however.

And speaking of redevelopment, the Koch Maladministration has rolled out at least its second try at “redeveloping” Wollaston Center.

Single and two family property tax bills will only up by a bit over two percent higher from this year’s typical tax bill. 

At the same time, however, local residential property tax bills continue to run around twenty percent or so higher than the tax bill for identical assessed value properties in both Braintree and Weymouth.

At the same time, however, plan on local residential property tax bills continuing to run around twenty percent or so higher than the tax bills for identically assessed value properties in both Braintree and Weymouth.

In other words, our peerless mayor is looking to be planning on continuing to spend with all but wild abandon.
