Bye-bye …

Yet another Koch Machine insider was shown the door earlier this week.
The now-former director of the City of Quincy Senior Services department and longtime BFF of Quincy Mayor Thomas Koch was summarily dismissed on Monday.
While the two previous insiders’ departures were done as a retirement for one and the second via a resignation under fire, this one was a straight up firing.
Although details are still scarce, the fired city official had been out on paid leave over suspected “financial irregularities” and which an outside reviewer apparently found to have merit.
As to if more shoes may drop on this former Team Koch insider, such remains to be seen.
At the same time, Quincy Quarry has received word that outside grant money is in the mix,
In turn, if this chatter is valid, while state officials have a reputation for opting for slack for such things, the feds take names, run the numbers, and then slap such offenders with indictments as well as proceed to trial.
Just ask Quincy’s double dipping ex-con.
A big seller in Quincy?

While the two previous insiders’ departures were finessed as a retirement for one and the second sleazed via a resignation under fire, this one was a straight-up firing.
Unclear, however, at this point is if this insider’s will see his city pension as was the case for the person who retired under a cloud and as will be the case for the mayor’s nephew who resigned per Mayor Koch’s Chief of Staph Pinocchio Walkbacker.
Then again, if the purported irregularities committed at Senior Services do, in fact, entail any federal funds, formal resolution(s) of any improprieties will likely be undertaken by the feds and thus out of the control of the Koch Machine.
Fortunately for the Koch Administration, the bus platforms for the Quincy Center MBTA station are right next door to Quincy’s City Hall.
Talk about convenient even if the Bigger Dogs in Quincy’s City Hall are not known for using public transportation.
Accordingly, Quincy Quarry News’ ever-growing legions of loyal readers can count on Quincy Quarry to monitor this latest scandal to hit the Koch Maladministration and report updates as appropriate.
That and continue to work other City of Quincy personnel-related dimes dropped the Quarry’s way.
Al Capone would be proud.
Art,
The rat b*stard is getting a cut FFS..
Remember how Al Capone got done in. It was not the Federal Agents, FBI or the Untouchables. It was the IRS. Al Capone had unreported and untaxed income that was not reported to be taxed as income on his tax returns to fund the U.S. Government. With all of the deals and relationships our fearless City of Quincy leaders have with developers and others, it is possible the IRS could discover more unreported, under the table and unreported taxable income if they look in the right places.
I am looking forward to Quincy Mayor Thomas Koch’s report on the financial review of the departments where the two previous insiders’ departures were done as a retirement.
I am also looking forward to Quincy Mayor Thomas Koch’s report on how much Quincy’s residential real estate taxes will be reduced by restitution of repaid funds from the fired director of City of Quincy Senior Services department and longtime BFF of Quincy Mayor Thomas Koch as well as restitution of his salary while placed on paid leave until his firing on Monday.
The gift that keeps on giving! Yet another one of Mayor Thomas Koch’s insiders gets “two in the hat.” It’s like watching a never-ending episode of “House of Cards,” but with less subtlety and more local flavor. One must admire the mayor’s dedication to surrounding himself with such trustworthy and upstanding individuals. It’s almost as if cronyism and backroom deals are prerequisites for his inner circle. Maybe instead of focusing on his pay raise, Mayor Koch should consider investing in some drama lessons for his team – at least then, their antics would be entertaining on purpose. Bravo, Quincy! You never fail to amaze.
