QATV continues to not live stream City Council meetings #quincycitycouncil #mayorkoch #quincysun #partiotledger
– News about Quincy Massachusetts from Quincy Quarry News
QATV continues to not live broadcast City Council meetings as well as continues to also be slow to make them available for on-demand streaming.
So much for the fact that, for example, the last three Council meetings entail approvals of $420 million in all-inclusive city spending for FY 2023, another $53 million in spending on Mayor Koch’s likely to come up short plans to provide tax relief for local taxpayers citywide via his massive spendings to incite a “New Quincy Center,” and at least $18.5 million in total and so record-busting on a new animal control building, respectively.
Granted, QATV did subsequently make videos of these meetings available online; however, for two years during the COVID pandemic Council meeting were streamed live via ZOOM as well as broadcast live by QATV beforehand, not doing so for the last three council meetings would clearly suggest a trend.
A troubling trend as regards providing timely transparency on just short of half a billion dollars of spending of mostly local taxpayers’ money by the notoriously free-spending Quincy Mayor Thomas P. Koch.
Then again, as QATV has become de facto Koch Omnivison Unlimited, such “oversights” are only to be expected.

Not broadcasting city council meetings live gives Team Koch (basically everyone at the City Hall except for Councillor-At-Large Anne M. Mahoney) time for damage control.
Thank you, Councilor Mahoney, for being the only stand-up person on our city council.
You can bet the farm that they broadcast the mayor live every time he wants a session to blather about how wonderful he is and so he can threaten the taxpayers by telling us how much more he could be taxing us. Father Bill’s had best consider an immediate expansion since Kochanomics is going to push even more people out of their homes.
Again, apparently, QATV is like TASS, Russia’s state-run news agency.
