Framingham City Council votes to cut the mayor’s salary.
Unfortunately for long-suffering Quincy taxpayers, it is the mayor of Framingham’s salary which is going to be cut come the start of both the 2022 calendar year as well as what will also begin a new mayoral term in office.
The official rationale for the cut: the council had looked at what other mayors were being paid and decided that Framingham Mayor Spicer is being paid too much.
At the same time, the fact that Dr. Yvonne Spicer, and who is the first mayor of the City of Framingham, is both a female as well as a person of color surely have nothing to do with anything.

Regardless, might Quincy Mayor Koch being looking at a pay cut given that for the second year in a row running late presenting his city budget proposal to the Quincy City Council for its consideration and potential approval?
That and given his pimping roughly $675 million in proposals which will roughly double the City of Quincy’s current outstanding debt so as to cover his tukas over peeps’ woeful mismanagement of the city employee pension fund, roughly triple down on a dubious ploy to save a college that he dropped out of after making a mess of it, and sate his Edifice Complex with a new estimated all-costs-included $60 million new City Hall.

I don’t understand why Quincy won’t tap into Cannabis money. Why no dispensaries?
Ms. J,
Please note that Quincy has had a Rx dispensary on Ricciuti Drive near Granite Links for almost 5 years. No idea how many golfers have Rx’s so as to deal with the yips, however. Also no clue what the City of Quincy might be doing with its cut as the books provided to the general public by La Kocha Nostra are as opaque as midnight during a power outage in Western Massachusetts.
Pay cut? Koch should be paying the city for his being mayor. Seems that rather than working for the overtaxed people of Quincy, he’s working for every Tom, Dick, and Harry developer who comes along — but I suppose they’re paying him well. So a pay cut would only be a symbolic drop in the bucket.
