Quincy Quarry Weekly Fish Wrap: Same old same old strikes again?

While last week was quieter than the week before, it still had its low points.

For but starters, yet again special parking privileges were apparently granted to favored workers in Quincy Center.

Quelle surprise

In this instance, demolition workers working on taking down the long condemned and thus closed MBTA parking garage in Quincy Center are double parking along Burgin Parkway adjacent to the Quincy Center MBTA station.

So what if traffic in Quincy Center has long been hopelessly Q’ed up for years as well as only continuing to worsen.

Even more troubling, however, is how Abigail and John Quincy were kicked to the curb in favor of John Hancock and are thus now homeless as winter approaches.

And on an even more worrisome level, Standard and Poor “… placed Massachusetts at an “elevated risk” of financial distress during a hypothetical recession, one of 15 states that analysts said are the most poorly situated in the event of a new and prolonged downturn in the economy.”

In turn, considering how the City of Quincy’s reserves are comparably thin as well as highly dependent on state funding, not to mention how the Koch Maladministration in piling up debt faster than a last minute holiday season shopper and the City’s employee pension is arguably even worse than the T’s, one can only properly worry that S&P is going to eventually have to say about Quincy when S&P gets around to rating local municipalities.

Needless to say, Quincy’s spendaholic could finally soon be seeing his long profligate spending habits curtailed, if not stopped cold.

Apparently, his long ongoing mantra that interest rates on municipal debt are so low that local taxpayers cannot afford to not let him spend just may finally soon be coming home to roost.
