The City of Quincy finally landed a major sponsor for Quincy 400 five weeks into the four hundredth year after the beginning of settlement of what was originally known as Braintree by likely undocumented British migrants.

All in all, better late than never even if the city’s announcement has spun the concept of a glass half full to arguable a whole new level of spin.

In any event, who is the sponsor?

A second-tier regional bank with branches mostly in New England with twenty-five branches in Florida to take care its snowbird customers.

Show us the money!

It must further as well as ironically be noted that this bank is the US subsidiary of a Spanish bank with the same name.

The amount laid out to be a major sponsor, however, was not provided.

After all, one can only assumed that the price of admission was marked down to reflect that some of the year has past and such markdowns from the rack rate are embarrassing if publicized.

Similarly, just what comes from the sponsorship as Quincy 400 has precious little scheduled for the rest of the year on its calendar.

In short, so much for duly planning out something that was first announced eight years ago.

Then again, if the Koch Maladministration is known for anything it is spending big even if funding is thin or at least hard to follow as well as outcomes at least slow to show.

For example, the long stumbling along redevelopment of Quincy Center.
