Mayor Thomas P. Koch withdraws his proposal to buy a $23 million site for a combined new Quincy College and City Hall building.
In a just breaking good news for local taxpayers for a change and thus details are scare, not that the Koch Maladminisration would ever respond to any Quincy Quarry News inquiries, Quincy Mayor Thomas P. Koch has withdrawn his $23 million ask to yet again overspend on property acquisitions to sate his Edifice Complex jones.
Amazingly, it would appear that the Quincy City Council is for a change pushing back on Mayor Koch’s free-spending ways.
At least until he releases his at this point two week’s late proposed Fiscal Year 2022 budget, that is.
That and a few more other spending grifts.

It’s a certainty that Koch is already exploring alternate ways to squander more residential tax dollars. The Adams Academy/Adams presidential library scheme will be entertaining — as well as expensive.
Dom,
Don’t be surprised if our peerless mayor yet again ends up “Kochblocked” in his latest kochxotic quest. For but starters, don’t be surprised if Tommy yet again goes down in flames in court over his all but certain baseless claim of his having control over the Adams library collection. And as for the rest, the Quarry is holding back on them so as to report on them as they happen. Think Chuck “The Bayonne Bleeder” Wepner punch by punch fight announcing.
