More than the weather continues hot as the dog days of summer impose their tolls of heat, drought, sudden thunderstorms, lethargy, fever, mad dogs, and bad luck.
In particular this summer, the bad luck is continuing to rain down hard upon the Koch Maladministration.
While not a mayor election year, the Koch Machine is surely at DEFCON One as the natives are restless what with many times more than the usual number city council seat challengers running for election.
In particular, Quincy Quarry broke the news that former at Large city councillor and multiple mayoral challenger Anne Mahoney opted to step in the arena just ahead of the filing deadline.

In turn, the not good good old boys in City Hall are surely not appreciative of how their backroom dealings and arguable misdealings could end up at risk.
Fortunately, the Koch Machine coincidentally had a distraction scheduled: a no admission charge outdoor concert by American Celtic Punk rock band the Dropkick Murphys as a part of Mayor Thomas Koch’s confabulated Quincy 400 anniversary.
In any event as well as amazingly, the Dropkick Murphys’ performance surprisingly went off without a hitch.
Circuses anyway — food costs continue to soar …

On the other hand, Quincy Quarry News was subsequently advised of how much the performance cost and so broke word of how much its likely cost and posed the question as to who paid for it as well as likely why.
Speaking of costs, Quincy Quarry News will soon be publishing its unarguably most thoroughly investigated exposé in the Quarry’s just short of eleven years of exposing primarily the posterior of the Koch Maladministration.

In particular, while there will not be any blood exposéd, all manner of red ink was found on the scenes of various financial doings and most especially as well as more importantly expensive misdoings.
Seriously expensive misdoings.
Wicked seriously expensive.
Why don’t you try reporting on the actual news for Quincy instead of turning everything into a personal attack on Koch? It’s obvious you hate the man. But you may actually increase your readers if you don’t blame him for the weather. I’m not saying you shouldn’t share your biased opinion, just try something else about the city instead of everything about him. I know you don’t care about this city, you just have no actual news to report.
jb,
For but starters, the City of Quincy just was hit with a credit rating cut. Mayor Koch owns this and him alone. He is also under investigation by the State Ethics Commission over how he endeavored to grift himself with an 89% raise. Further, recently he has been sued over the alleged misuse of public funds in violation of both the US and state constitutions.
Quincy Quarry is also soon to publish a story on how the city’s finances are even uglier than they already appear.
In short, facts are stubborn things and the above as well as more cast shade on our peerless mayor.
Serious and WELL-DESERVED shade.
Keep up the great work that you are doing. It’s reporters like you who will save democracy.
Do you know what his nickname was growing up? I bet not even Quincy Quarry knows this: His family used to call him “Porka”. True story. You can ask Porka if it is true.
LET ME!!!!!!!!! INTRODUCE THE WORD!! GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!! UNJUST!!!!!!!! GOSSIP!!!!!!!! ONLY TURNS THE. UNJUST!!!!!!!! HATE!!!!! ON THE GOSSIPER!!!!INSTEAD!!!!!! USE KINDNESS!!! IT’S A SUPER POWER!!!!!!!!
What the hell are you raving about?
Would someone please bring to the public attention how Dave McCarthy took in over $5,000.00 in donations from Granite Links peeps after his vote in favor of its lease extension ask. Also, “No Reply” DiBona took in a large sum over the past year as well.
The public needs to know how these councilors operate, never reply to emails from constituents yet know how to ask for the money.
BTW, isn’t there a sign ordnance as it would appear that certain candidates — Messers. Devine, DiBona, and Harris — don’t understand those rules
Ah, the “dog days of summer” in Quincy, where the heat index is rising faster than the number of crises weighing down the Koch Maladministration. We’ve got droughts, thunderstorms, and “mad dogs and bad luck” all conspiring like a summer blockbuster -— but without a popcorn-worthy plot much a at least a “happy ending” in what is the massage parlor capital of the South Shore.
Instead, we get DEFCON One levels of political panic, as if City Hall just discovered tax revenue doesn’t grow on palm trees.
Plus, Anne Mahoney has jumped into the political ring -— cue the backroom boys scrambling their response squad tighter than a barber’s grin.
Then, just when you think they’ve got you too hot and bothered, they roll out a free Dropkick Murphy’s concert: the perfect lollipop distraction tossed your way during their ongoing financial and ethical dumpster fire. At least the show went off without a hitch -— unlike the city’s budgeting and ethics records.
Get ready, Quincy because that fiery summer heat might just be a metaphor for what’s really on the rise: cynicism, fiscal peril, and the collective urge to grab a protest sign instead of sunscreen.
