“What the …”

The Boston television station news unit that broke word of the suspension of a City of Quincy department head and BFF of Quincy Mayor Thomas P. Koch over suspected financial improprieties last week has since published a comprehensive as well as detailed recounting of a sexting scandal involving Mayor Koch’s nephew and Quincy police officer Andrew “Randy Andy” Keenan and who is also the son of one of the mayor’s brothers-in-law, a bother-in-law who is also the somewhat recently retired Quincy Police Chief Paul “The Beaver” Keenan.

Such considerable focus of things troubling in Quincy speaks volumes as Boston media all but do not bother with covering Quincy other than traffic accidents and house fires.

Andrew “Randy Andy” contemporaneously resigned from his job as a Quincy police detective on Friday upon the release of an outside lawyerly review of his initiating sexting with a woman he surely knew to have socio-emotional disabilities.

The comprehensive telling of events by the local television station is not only comprehensive, it is also sorely troubling if not also disquieting. 

The television station’s written coverage was so extensive as well as detailed on the order of what the Boston broadsheet used to regularly publish and thus Quincy Quarry feels it to be only proper to accord props to the local television station for its considerable coverage and which clearly entailed extensive as well as thorough investigation.

Earlier coverage by another station helped to see the scandal see the light of day was similarly disconcerting.

Returning to the more recent written coverage by the other local television, it also exposéd Mayor Koch in an especially bad light.

For example, a statement was elicited from Quincy Mayor Thomas P. Koch that he had no knowledge of the 2017 sexting incident until his nephew was exposéd and so placed on paid suspension last summer shortly after former Chief Keenan retired and contemporaneous adverse media hit the fan and so forced the hand of the new police chief to place Randy Andy on paid suspension pending further review.

Given that the Quarry has long known about this scandal that was also universally known among the Quincy police force as well as that one of the Quarry’s sources as to sordid particular was a high school student at the time of the sexting, such a claim of ignorance speaks badly about Mayor Koch

Specifically, there are only two interpretations for the mayor’s statement.

One is that he was not on top of his responsibilities as mayor as his nephew’s admitted misdeeds, misdeeds that would see him summarily fired — if not worse — were Randy Andy a police officer in another department where his father was not the police chief and his uncle not the mayor.

The only other explanation is that Mayor Koch’s claim is not factual.

Either way, most anywhere else the arguably predatory actions of Mayor Koch’s nephew warranted further consideration to impose formal sanctions even if the Plymouth County District Attorney took a pass on pursuing charges.
