Quincy Quarry News continues to monitor the impact of a winter that stubbornly continues to linger.

While winter snow has for the most part melted away locally, a couple of piles linger in front of Quincy’s two city halls for reasons one cannot help but suspect might be performative.

On the other hand, plies can be tough to shrink.

In any event, Quincy Quarry continues to monitor the City of Quincy’s snow clearing spending.

To whit, as of today, the city’s books show $7,093,859.23 spent to date on snow clearing as well as currently running $4,922,657.89 overbudget.

Needless to say, Quincy Quarry News’ ever growing legions of loyal readers can count on the Quarry to monitor snow job spending so as to see if it ends up going over $5 million over budget

In any event, such overspending on snow clearing leaves projected year end overspending by the Quincy Fire Department that is currently looking likely to run a couple of million over budget this fiscal year and so keep the department’s typically running over budget spending continue even it such is hard to discern given the way the Koch Administration works the books provided to the general public.
