(“Not the City of Quincy yet again …”)

In this instance, the long expected lawsuit to stop Quincy Mayor Thomas Koch from illegally installing religion statues on the soon to be opening new City of Quincy Public Safety building and paid for with roughly a million dollars of taxpayers’ money is imminent as in the lawsuit is likely to be filed by as soon as tomorrow to perhaps no later than sometime next week.
A consequential Boston-based litigation law firm is in the loop working on behalf of outraged locals, the American Civil Liberties Union, Americans United for Separation of Church and State, and The Freedom From Region Foundation.
FAFO …

On top of filing suit, a stop work injunction should be expected as well as every effort possible in the works to see considerable media coverage.
In short, expect taking names, numbers, and no prisoners.
In turn, given the Koch Administration’s woeful to near perfect losing record on consequential lawsuits, one can only assume that this latest litigation will result in even more whacks to Quincy’s rotund piñata.
So Timmons will sputter and stutter his way though another losing battle. Or he will go outside and hire some $1,000/hour litigator who will be paid by the taxpayers and they will lose too. Tommy never cared about the Code not Taxpayers, it’s all about his ego. What Tommy wants, Tommy gets. He learned that back at Sacred Heart. Are we done paying for his screw ups yet? We never will be given the long term debt he has saddled this City with. He really is going to spend out money fighting a Constitutional issue that has been adjudicated many times with the same outcome. He’s a moron.
Juice, for once taxpayers are supposedly not going to be stuck with covering the legal bills over a koching up.
A few weeks ago our peerless mayor stated that he had private money lined up to fund a defense of a lawsuit over the statues. Unmentioned, however, was pretty much had to line up private money-funded legal services as he had to as the core is issue is his obviously unconstitutional use of public funds.
Unclear, however, is if, when, and/or how he might end up stuck with having to reimburse local taxpayers for his surely illegally spending close to a million dollars of taxpayer-funded funds on what are banal statues of Roman Catholic saints that he wants to illegally install on public property.
