— Quincy Massachusetts News by Quincy Quarry News – News, Opinion and Commentary.
Quincy’s historically heretofore Teflon mayor continues to see things instead stick to him during at least the start of 2025.
First up, the Koch Machine has dropped both the plow as well as burned a lot of money to at best put in a mixed bag with snow clearing during a so far below average snowfall winter.
Next up, the South Shore almost daily broadsheet has twice this past week taking the Koch Maladministration to task.
So hard hitting have been these poundings by the broadsheet that Quincy Quarry News can only properly offer up serious props for stepping up to the plate and then parking the head of La Kocha Nostra’s head over the fence and into the bleachers for long ball dingers during battling practice.
Serious long ball dingers.
First up, the broadsheet kneecapped the Quincy City Council for cancelling a scheduled meeting on Monday.

“FYI — not our fault”

The reason?
Nothing to do.
Or, more correctly, nothing from the mayor to for councilors to rubber stamp.
And for an extra twisting of the knife, the broadsheet also gave serious column inches to comments about why the City Council all but invariably refuses to allow any public comment on the record on their doings as well as readily argued far more often misdoings.
And then for the second half of the weekly double, the broadsheet exposéd Quincy Mayor Thomas P. Koch’s plans for spending likely a million installation and extra space costs included to put a statue of a couple of Roman Catholic saints inside of the impending new $172 million dollar police headquarters.

Fleece, fleeced — whatever

So much — apparently —for the formal American constitutional as well as otherwise legal tradition of the separation of church and state, much less this specific instance of fiduciary imprudence with local taxpayers’ money.
Then again, when one is the head of the Men of Divine Mercy, what’s a million dollar fleecing on top of all of the other fleecings of local taxpayers?
Well, for starters, a million dollars of local taxpayers’ money.
Not that one would know much of any such breaking badly bad news© from the local weekly tabloid, however.
Nor from Koch Omnimedia, formerly known as Quincy Access Television, for that matter.
Not that this is anything new as regards such MIA but oh so needed coverage.
The Lord Mayor says the oversized (10′) statues of Roman Catholic Saints are not religious objects. Sorry, they are what they are. If we want saints we can visit a church.
