City Investigation

Six Quincy city employees have been put on leave pending an investigation. Paid leave I'd bet Several reliable sources have confirmed the investigation to WGEM news. ( are they Anonymous sources? Anon is Weak) The sources tell us three of the suspended staff are on the Quincy Fire Department--that includes an assistant fire chief and two lieutenants. The investigation reportedly involves improper use of city equipment and violations of city policy. ( there's a policy ??) Quincy Mayor John Spring told WGEM News that an investigation is underway into personnel issues regarding city employees, but he had no further comment. The mayor says such matters are handled by the city's human resource department. He told WGEM News he would be the only official source handling the release of personnel policy issues. (Translation: I tell you what I want you to know.)

Wild Fire Weekend !!!

New Invention !

I found a new product the other day that would save money on electricity cost.

It called a Photo-eye.

It automatically activates and turns lights on at dusk and turns them off at dawn.

No seasonal adjustments needed.

Not affected by daylight savings time.

Maybe someone from Central Services could swing by the Amtrak station and install one so the lights at the Station and in the Parking lot are not on at noon.

How Many Carrots Does It Take ?

• City financed improvements to the tune of +$600,000

• Real Estate tax abatements for up to 5 years. - ($471,000 X 5 Years= $2,355,000)
  

• Exempt from city and state sales taxes for building materials.

• 50% discount on building permits.

.....for 55 - $300,000 condos ???

BEARS / RAMS= ln( (1+(1+z 2) )/z ) = ????

Ya think someone over at WGEM/FOX/QNI could give the public some indication of what formula is used to which games are going to be on come Sunday ????

I was told last year that the games would alternate when both teams played at the same time.

Two weeks ago BEARS and RAMS played at the same time. FOX/WGEM carried the RAMS on TV. The local radio stations were carrying the CARDS, CUBS, and the RAMS. Closest radio station with BEARS radio was a station out of Iowa.

Last week, BEARS played on Sunday night, so that week should not count.

This week, the BEARS and RAMS both play at noon and WGEM/FOX has the Rams listed on the TV Guide at noon.....

WHAT GIVES ???

A rare Apology and Delete....

In the previous post (now deleted) I was simply asking what happened to a local blog that just disappeared from existence.

I had no knowledge of anything happening , was just asking what happened to it. So many Blogs pop up, go like hell, and then usually hang around without adding anything for months, but stay up. ( hint, hint fellow bloggers)

This one just vanished.

I enjoyed reading it and had added it to the links and thats when I found out that it was gone.

After reading some of the comments left here, I can assume something may have happened that I do not care for me or this Blog to be involved in.

I started this Blog for "poops and giggles" and enjoy everyones comments on current posts, but reserve the right to delete posts and comments if it gets personal.
