Quincy Quarry News Weekly Fish Wrap: A rough week.
A very rough week.
Last weekend started off with an alleged hate crime hit and run incident near the Quincy Center Post Office.
The alleged hater subsequently arrested by Brarintree Police and then held in custody until he was released on Thursday on his own recognizance per strict restrictions.
The restrictions include wearing a GPS ankle monitor as well as having to be “daddysat” by a daughter 24/7 until at least his currently scheduled pretrial hearing on February 11.
And as for the next arguable crime, Quincy Quarry News broke yet another exclusive exposé.
The scoop: a Norfolk District Court judge operating per remand instructions from the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court tossed the City of Quincy’s laughable claim that it owned the land under the Adams Academy, a building where the Quincy Hysterical Society has long rented space for short money for half a century.
The back story: a year and a half ago the City of Quincy took the property via an adverse eminent domain taking.
At the time of the taking, the city only offered to pay a couple of million and change for just the building but nothing for the land underneath it even though at that point it had already been told by the Chief Justice of the Supreme Judicial Court two years ago that the City of Quincy does not own the land.
Now, however, Quincy Mayor Thomas P. Koch is looking at having to have to come up with at least $10 million more if he wants to buy both the building and the property underneath it.
In fact, the final cost could well end up running upwards of twenty million or thereabouts in total to buy the whole of the Adams Academy property, cover likely penalties to be imposed upon the City of Quincy over its improper taking of the property as well as that the the city will surely find itself also ordered to pay the legal costs of the Adams Temple and School Fund.
The reason?
Again, a court has yet again stated that the land belongs to the Adams Temple and School Fund and thus if Mayor Koch wants it, he is going to have pay the fund for it if he wants to have it.
Pay big for it.
And as for the next arguable crime scene, it was at Monday Night’s City Council meeting.
Fortunately for the janitor, the council’s meeting hall has maroon carpeting.
The arguable crime: how the Koch Machine pretty much greased covering the nut on Mayor Koch’s koched-up and record-breaking going away Fiscal Year 2023 budget with some epic kochian grifts.
Truly epic grifts.
Stupefyingly stupendous grifts.
Quick and oh so dirty, Mayor Koch tapped all manner of cookie jars as well as the change from the sofas in his expansive imperial suite in New City Hall so to avoiding facing local taxpayers bearing axes, pitchforks, and other implements capable of inflicting pain over their impending 2023 property tax bill increases.
Then again, it is surely but coincidentally that the 2023 property tax bills will be the last ones issued before Mayor Koch has to face an election come next November.
In other words, local taxpayers should thus expect to have to pay the piper and in spades come 2024 with even more ugly to follow in most years thereafter as various kited bills will be coming due until the end of the decade.
