Koch as regards his latest eight figure ask to increase his City of Quincy charge card limit so that he can then continue to pursue his long-ongoing quixotic as well as expensive quest to see his dreams of a New Quincy Center perhaps actually happen, albeit more than likely at a considerable cost to taxpayers citywide.
