Quincy Quarry News considered asking Quincy Police Chief Paul “The Beav” Keenan to offer comment on unconfirmed reports that a number of officers at the adjacent Quincy Police Department headquarters had to change their shorts after the fire foam hit the fan, but then figured why bother ending up being ignored

Similarly, the Quarry considered reaching out to the Beav’s brother-in-law Mayor Thomas P. Koch to inquire if the City might be seeking a discount on his plans to buy the gas station for use by city rides given the gas station’s suspect fire safety system, but yet again figured why bother ending up ignored.
