Jon Keller scored the first interview get with United States Attorney for Massachusetts Rachael Rollins this past weekend.
At least as regards United State Attorney Rollins’ previously announced opening of an investigation of whether or not likely not the City of Quincy’s dogged history of gaming due process so as to koch-block Boston’s plans to rebuild its bridge between its wholly-owned Long and Moon Islands on Boston’s dime entails illegalities committed by Quincy.

Mayor Koch’s legal team yet again whacked in court

United States Attorney Rollins is thus “reviewing” things to discern “if” Mayor Koch’s long-ongoing playing games with all manner of germane law and such “may” have violated the civil rights of those struggling with the ravages of addiction, one of the many protected classes per the Americans with Disabilities Act.
Specifically, Koch’s myriad of efforts to variously koch-block Boston’s resuming grandfathered levels of traffic through Quincy to reach Long Island, an island which is a part of the City of Boston
In particular, Koch and the City Council’s support of Squantum NIMBYs who do not want Boston to resume but a fraction of its previous traffic flow to and from Long Island skirting the edge of a bit of Squatum to access or depart from the Moon Island Causeway.

So what, it would appear, for the fact that conversely thousands of Quincy residents rely on the Neponset Bridge daily and so into Boston so as to then travel to wherever they want.
And of particular note, while United States Attorney Rollins said that she would be as vocal as her already publicly expressed concerns over the appearance of racism among the all but completely white CIty of Everett payroll if her ongoing investigation of same does not find actionable problems in what is a minority-majority community, Rollins tellingly made so no such statement about Mayor Koch’s long-ongoing koch-blocking of rebuilding the bridge over the course of three different City of Boston mayoral administrations.
In turn, one can only reasonably assume that United States Attorney Rollins suspects that last spring Qunicy Mayor Koch was yet again speaking with a forked tongue.

Rachel Rollins and the city of Boston are the real NIMBYs. The City of Boston used Long Island to isolate its UNWANTED infectious disease patients in dilapidated buildings on the Island!
Further, the City of Boston failed to maintain Long Island Hospital and the Long Island Bridge for decades.
The City of Boston now wants to use Long Island to isolate the city’s unsightly homeless drug users.
Out of sight, out of mind!
Electric ferries would be the better, cheaper, and greener option instead of a costly bridge, more traffic on the ONLY road to Squantum, and the logistical nightmares that will follow.
Quincy Mayor Tom Koch has even agreed to pick up half of the cost of ferry service to the Island, which, in my view, defeats racist Rollins’s argument of discrimination!
The City of Boston has much better, cheaper, greener, and more convenient venues for drug treatment facilities.

Peter,
Among your various errata and worse, please note that Quincy Mayor Tom Koch only offered to cover half of the extra cost to go with more expensive ferry service. To this, why should Boston pay the other half of the extra costs to go with variously impractical ferry service so as to save Koch from ending up burned at the stake by angry Squantum NIMBY’s?
