Quincy Quarry Weekly Fish Wrap: 420 time?
Yes loyal Quincy Quarry readers, today is 4/20/2017 and thus today is 420 time.
As such, smoke it if you’ve got a stash!
Read here about how 420 become such an important symbol to stoners – and yes, no great surprise as to how Marin County California is where it all started.

And speaking about the less than aware, the Koch Maladministration slipped it to locals yet again this week while many local were out of town for the spring school vacation week break or otherwise distracted by their progeny.
This latest swiving of local taxpayers was via the maladministration’s late at night as well as unscheduled securing of the approval of a Land Disposal Agreement with controversial out of town interests who have bought up much of Quincy Center in recent years.
Following the money

Fortunately, given sage as well as relentless analysis by the Quincy Quarry Financial Affairs desk, the Quarry has followed the money and so found that these developers are looking to enjoy several million dollars in financial benefits that will all but assuredly ultimately as well as variously be subsidized mostly by local taxpayers.
Whether or not, however, Quincy Quarry’s exclusive disclosure of these findings will be enough to head off the underlying sweetheart lease deal as well as other deals handed out by the Koch Maladministration remains to be seen.
It’s obvious why these two are smiling

In the meanwhile, the benefits so grifted include a wicked fat parking sublet arbitration opportunity as well as ducking all manner of otherwise to be expected business expenses during the first eight years of a sweetheart parking lease deal which relies on the out of town interests’ wicked cheap access to parking spaces in a proposed new taxpayer-funded parking garage.
Additionally, further millions in similar benefits are also anticipated to accrue to these developers in subsequent decades courtesy of the way that the sweetheart parking lease will likely play out in the out years.
Pay for pay in MA?

Conversely, however, it is surely but coincidental that these out of town interests and their allied parties have contributed almost sixty thousand dollars to Quincy Mayor Thomas P. Koch’s campaign fund in recent years.
Also surely but coincidental is the roughly fifteen thousand dollars more that these out of town interests have further contributed to other local elected officials.
Further surely coincidental is how the principals behind all of the money showered upon local politicians as well as other often similarly suspect hacks were hit last fall a ten thousand fine by the Office of Campaign and Political Finance for making illegal straw contributions through a third party to Mayor Thomas P. Koch, Boston Mayor Marty Walsh and Massachusetts Attorney General Maura Healy.

Then again, the Koch Maladministration having to disgorge illegal straw donor campaign contributions is hardly news.
That and the ever growing legions of loyal Quincy Quarry readers would be well advised to not be surprised if even more such sanctions are imposed in both the near as well as more distant future.
After all, the City of Quincy has long been known as A City Under the Influence.
And as for other likely to be breaking badly bad news for the Q, yet another leak has been shared with Quincy Quarry.
This time the leak is about a mysterious water leak that is ponding in the middle of the somewhat recently repaved misaligned Hancock Street in Quincy Center.
A City on the Move about to hit the wall?

Only time will tell if this leak turns into yet another spectacular geyser or perhaps instead a giant sinkhole.
Regardless of how things break for the Q going forward, expect Quincy Quarry to exposé it and as only it has the stones to do.
After all, Quincy Quarry is not Google’s top-ranked sources for News About Quincy without all manner of reasons.

Bend over and take it taxpayers. These deals are on our dime. Quincy is turning into both a zoo and a cesspool.
That and the home of sweetheart deals! The 20 Furnace Avenue bailout out of Dan FlynnFlam, the more recent Greenleaf Street grift, ongoing fun and games in the shipyard, parking space giveaway lease deals, the proposed parking lot purchase bailout of Louis’s Restaurant, jamming a big apartment building on Bridge Street near the Adams House National Park, the fire sale priced sale of Quincy Medical Center, the recent and secretive Masonic Temple sale … these are just a few of the many scams that come to mind.
Our city is being bought and paid for at the expense of local taxpayers while developers line their pockets with cash care of sleazy backroom deals.
Wake up people or get in line to get your KY early before they drain your pockets and you thus have to go without benefit of any lubrication.
The pigs are making deals while they squeal and then eventually return to wallowing in the pile of sh*# they came from. Eeek!
