Civil Service Commission finds the hiring of Quincy Mayor Koch’s son as a police officer broke the rules.

In what is the latest breaking badly bad news® for Quincy’s ethically as well as variously otherwise challenged Koch Maladministration, the Civil Service Commission has yet again whacked the Koch Machine for grifting yet another koched-up peep onto the Quincy police force

This time person who was grifted on the force was Quincy Mayor Thomas P. Koch’s older son and thus also the nephew of one of the mayor’s brothers-in-law, Quincy Police Chief Paul “The Beav” Keenan.

How the mayor’s son was hired and someone else higher on the Civil Service list was bypassed is laid out in embarrassing for La Kocha Nostra detail here. including the problematic role of Mayor Koch’s Chief of Staph Pinocchio Walkbacker.

And as for the first instance of an arguably koched-up endeavor to hire someone with various ties to key kochsters onto the force, it occurred very early on in Mayor Koch’s tenure in office.

Eventually, the peep was hired onto the Quincy police force and more recently this officer was named a co-defendant in an $8m million wrongful lawsuit in which the City of Quincy, Quincy Police Chief Paul Keenan, and various other City of Quincy officials were also named as co-defendants in a case not even Perry Mason could win.

Did “The Beav” trade solids with da mayor?

In the second oldest prior koched-up hire onto the police force, the table was turned as it revolved around the grifting of Quincy Police Paul Keenan’s son – and thus also one of Mayor Koch’s nephews –  onto the force ahead of a veteran higher on the Civil Service hiring list.  In turn, the State Civil Service Commission duly spanked the CIty of Quincy over its misactions and which Quincy Quarry addressed in great detail. 

And more recently was the curious hiring of the forty-something son of a former Quincy police officer. 

This old rookie cop was hired only after some work records were revised such that the son ended up accorded with a suspect application of the put the child of an injury in the line of duty officer at the top of the hiring list per Massachusetts law.

Adding to the outrage over this controversial hiring, reliable sources indicate that at least some of the changes to the work records are said to have been made by a former Quincy Police lieutenant who is now a convicted felony for reasons that included his playing games with his own work records.

Net/net, while one can only wonder why anyone in his or especially her right mind would want to work for a koched-up police force, the Massachusetts Civil Service Commission ordered that the person bypassed and so instead benefitting the mayor’s son be placed at the top of the Civil Service hiring list as well as granted a seniority date that he would have received if he had not been improperly kicked to the curb in favor of the mayor’s son.

And finally, to add even more insult to injury as well as proof that Quincy Mayor Koch is nothing if not unwilling to amend his problematic ways, per a reliable source Quincy Quarry has been advised that the mayor plans to see his younger son onto the Quincy Fire Department as well as his son’s twin sister hired as a Quincy public school teacher and so confirming the old saw that those who can’t end up teaching.

In short, as well as yet again: only in the Q.
