As should not really come as any great surprise when the City of Everett is the subject of discussion, its mayor has been found to have apparently unduly juiced his pay by $180,000 by the Massachusetts Inspector General.

Even so, regional media engaged in a media feeding frenzy.

WGBH, The Boston Globe,   The Boston Herald, Boston 25, MassLive, NBC Boston, WCVB, WHDH, and various other lesser media piled on with extended coverage.

Some things were overlooked …

In turn, Quincy Mayor Thomas Koch has to be wondering what might end up happening to him as he is currently under review by at least the State Ethics Commission for endeavoring to score himself a $135,000 raise this year in clear violation of Massachusetts General Law.

That and arguably Quincy’s City Charter as well as thus perhaps also for a decade’s worth of $23,000 raises, not to mention fines for up to $10,000 or as much as five years in prison for each of his five apparent counts of not abiding by the rules.
