A changing story on Quincy police sergeant’s car crash leads to favorable treatment for his son.

While behind the scenes machinations by the Koch Maladministration to grift nepotism for the progeny of made Kochsters are nothing new in the Q, the latest exposé of same exposés both sets new lows as well as for a change rated serious, considerable, and surely expensive investigative journalism by a major regional media.

Yet another close shave for our peerless mayor?

Already politicians facing exposure are scattering as fast as cockroaches in a Bronx, New York tenement kitchen when one turns on a light at night. 

For example, longtime State House of Representatives Majority Leader Ron Mariano (Democrat/Quincy) is already in full walking back humina humina mode as he was the sponsor of the special Home Rule petition that bumped up the retired Quincy Police sergeant’s barkeep son up on the Civil service hiring list.  Way up the list.

State House Majority Leader Mariano said he does not have the resources to investigate home rule petitions.  Instead, he said that he relies on City Hall to vet its requests of him to file legislation on Beacon Hill.

Conversely, both Quincy Police Chief Paul “The Beav” Keenan and his brother-in-law Quincy Mayor Thomas P. Koch declined requests for interviews.

After all, as an attorney for the City of Quincy he can hide behind attorney/client privilege in spite of the fact that his salary is paid for with local tax revenue.

In any event, while the ever-growing legion of loyal Quincy Quincy readers as well as those surely tasked by La Kocha Nostra to monitor the Quarry surely smell Quincy Quarry’s hand in this latest Koch Maladministration bad PR Charlie Foxtrot, the Quarry does not.

This time, that is.

At the same time, Quincy Quarry would suggest that even more bovine byproduct will likely be hitting the fan. 

A lot more.

Time for a little good cop/bad cop interviewing up the food chain by the feds?

For but one lesser example of what to expect, it would appear that the local TV news crew investigating matters obtained records via public record requests which can readily identify just who in the City of Quincy’s Information Technology Department changed the former Quincy Police sergeant’s personnel file years after fact.

In turn, these changes arguably benefited both the sergeant’s financially enhanced disability retirement benefits approval in spite of the fact of his own carelessness gave rise to his injuries as well as helping his now his forty-one year old barkeep son make a huge move up on the Quincy Police Department’s Civil Service applicant priority list in ways open to ready questioning, if not also all manner of formal challenges.

In short, as well as yet again, only in the Q …
