After years of for the most part overlooking the easy pickings tied to Quincy’s City Hall, local television stations are taking bites out of Quincy Mayor Thomas P, Koch’s ever-lessening corpulence over his shooting himself in at least both of his feet during an extended WBZ 1030 Monday evening interview.

Further fueling the media feeding frenzy was that the interview was surely expected to be a chance for the mayor to score some favorable public opinion for his variously problematic plans to put two Roman Catholic patron saints already largely paid for with taxpayers/money on display on the impending $170 million new taxpayer-funded City of Quincy public safety building.

Instead, Mayor Koch went off topic and so ended up stepping in it, if not face planting himself in it..

Even worse for Mayor Koch, however both well-deserved and self-inflicted, he then violated The First Rule of Holes by digging himself in deeper via multiple attempts to walk back his self-damning statements including at a local school committee meeting and for which he is the Chair.

To see his doggedly as well as stubbornly shoot himself in at least his feet, check out the following but a sampling of local broadcast news teams roasting Quincy’s well-marbled mayor over the coals as well as this coverage not provided via YouTube. 

Yet to be addressed by Mayor Koch, however, are the valid grievances posed by the survivors of sexual abuse by Roman Catholic priests, Quincy Public Schools teachers, and LGBTQ+ people.
