Quincy Quarry News Weekly Fish Wrap:  Same old same old, different week.

Not only has this summer’s interminable rain continued to fall, so too continue the usual sorts of things in Quincy that most other communities would not care to weather.

First up, last weekend there was some sort of rumble involving an estimated forty people with at least one of the rumblers wielding a knife.

Additionally was a report from a Quincy Quarry News reader of yet another pedestrian whacking by an ambulance. 

Fortunately, this time it would appear that the pedestrian probably survived.

The workweek then continued the trend with a motor vehicle striking a bicyclist in the Wollaston neighborhood on Monday.

The Beav should be explaining things; not that he will be however.

The whacking continued on Tuesday even if a different manner of whacking when the Massachusetts Peace Officer Standards and Training Commission lifted the veil by releasing files on disciplinary reports on police officers statewide. 

While Quincy did not have the worst nor the most such cases, the number of reports on Quincy police officers clearly looked to be on the wrong side of the curve.

The Quarry Quarry News then moved on to publish yet another exposé of fails by the City of Quincy.

This latest exposé exposéd the fails that occurred care of the recent considerable spending on landscaping and such to renovate Merrymount Park.

The fails in this latest instance of all but unending fails by the Koch Maladministration? 

Simply keeping people off of freshly laid sod until it took root along with a little hosing now and then during what has otherwise been a near record-breaking rainy summer.

The Quarry and then followed with further as well arguably sorta/kinda good news for a change coverage on how a previous landscaping fail exposé published by the Quarry last month looks to have perhaps shamed those involved to cleaning up a weed-ridden City of Quincy greenspace near Pond Park.

Speaking of exposés, Quincy Quarry News next published its finding that Quincy Mayor Thomas P. Koch’s campaign fund has already spent upwards of $350,000 for political consulting services from just three such consulting services in advance of November’s local offices elections in Quincy.

Be sure to note that the $350,000 paid out by Mayor Koch to just these three political campaign consulting firms is more — if not way more — than the average total amount of spending on all campaign-related expenses incurred by both candidates in mayoral election contests in comparably-sized cities to Quincy elsewhere in Massachusetts.

Granted, spending like a sailor on shore leave after a year at sea is nothing new for Quincy’s free-spending — if not also profligate — mayor, this level of eye-opening spending clearly indicates that Mayor Koch will likely set a new campaign spending record as well as going away by a single candidate who is not running to become Massachusetts’ Governor, score one of Massachusetts’ two US Senate seats, or seek election as the mayor of Boston.

To this expectation, be sure to note that Mayor Koch already owns the current top two campaign spending records for spending care of his spending somewhere north of $700,000 previously.

In turn, be sure to note that $700,000 is roughly at least twice as much as the most money spent by both candidates in a mayoral elections in the most populated cities in the state other than Boston or Quincy.

In turn, as well as needless to say, Quincy Quarry is already working hard to endeavor to discern if Mayor Koch is hoping to buy a clue from these three very well-paid political campaign consultants given that his campaign team is surely already in a DEFCON One alert level panic.
