The country is in the middle of the worst economic downturn since the Great Depression, which isn't stopping rich donors and the government from spending $170 million, or more, on the inauguration of Barack Obama .

Duce confused with City vs. Family
From QNO: Democratic Second Ward Alderman Steve Duesterhaus said that if the Republicans take control, "there's another election in two years."
He said regardless of the outcome, Quincy will "prosper and provide opportunity to its citizens (Family)when the majority, without regard to hyper-partisan leanings, acts for the long term benefit of the city (Family)." He also said this year's Democratic slate of candidates fits this description.

City's Brass Balls
You've pissed away Millions on a Hydro dream that's on the verge of failure.
You have another 6 million to piss away on a new choo choo station.
You pay 100% of your employees healthcare.....
And you ask for your broke school district to split the tab on crossing guards ?
Amazing.

Whig Free 3/15/2011
QHW wants you to know that the city
is ready to renew the city employees healthcare insurance.
QNO wants you to know that the city
is ready to renew the city employees healthcare insurance and gives you the details that the employees pay NOTHING towards their healthcare.
Maybe the Whig didn't think this was a big deal.

Whig Free 3/13/11
With a bit more practice, I think he can get NASCAR, Quincy Raceways and American Idol all in the same sentence.

New Post Topics
Hello bloggers.
I am Quincy Fire and I was a Whig-aholic. I have been Whig-free for about 8 months now. Although I still read the paper every now and then, it is now strictly for entertainment value. Therefore I anytime I do read something odd, I'll blog about it under “ Whig Free”
Also as I wonder around this metropolis, I frequently ask myself “who is footing the bill for this and how much is it?” So those will be listed under “ Who Pays For This?”

R.I.P. Hydro
Quincy Hydro Project 2006 – 2011
Quincy Hydro Project born on Dec 12, 2006 in Quincy Illinois, left us on February 18, 2011. It will be joined in the after life by Firegate, Puppygate, Servergate, and other taxpayer funded blunders.
It is survived by it's financial dependents Klingner & Associates, Mead & Hunt, Joe Duesterhaus, Husch-Blackwell, Mississippi L & D 21, LLC, Grey Hunter Stenn, Michael Alexander and Associates, Northland Securities, Bernardi Securities and GREDF.
Quincy Hydro Project made no contribution to the city taxpayers and rarely had a chance to survive and produce electricity even if the project matured. I speak for the majority of city taxpayers when I say it's presence will not be missed by many, very few tears will be shed and there will be no lamenting over its passing.
It's financial family will remember Quincy Hydro Project and amongst ourselves we will remember it in our own way, which were mostly taxpayer funded and easy times throughout the years. We may have made some fond profits of it and perhaps we will think of those times too. But I truly believe at the end of the day ALL of us will really only miss what we never had, a another taxpayer funded white elephant. As for the rest of us left behind, I hope this is the beginning of a time of healing and learning to be a financial responsible city again.
There will be no service. An online memorial service will be here on Quincy Fire where users can share their memories, moods, incriminating feasibility studies, pictures, and gross amounts of profit.
In lieu of flowers, financial dependents request that you send donations to “Where's My Damn Money Gone”. Grief counseling will also be made available by logging on to Quincy Area Hydropower Project.
We commit the application remains of
Quincy Hydro Project
to the Deep ~
ashes to ashes, dust to dust.
From water, all life arises.
Mother of waters, Father of rain,
You have taken back your own.
As a stream flows into a river,
as a river flows into the sea,
This project is dead,
R.I.P.

When the going gets tough.....
Prospects for Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker's budget bill that would strip the state's public employees of most collective-bargaining rights were thrown into question Thursday when the state's Democratic lawmakers were not present at the start of the state session to vote on the bill.

Snow Way !
Snow removal efforts focus on Downtown Quincy
What makes downtown get more attention than the rest of the city ??? Do they pay more taxes ?
Even though Cape Air has canceled its flights, Quincy Regional Airport remains open.
Open for what? BYO brown bag lunch and free security scans ?
"Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds"
I call bullshit. Have not got mail for 2 days.
Quincy's weather forecasting service, Murray and Trettel Inc., told city crews that snow was supposed to start falling by 11 a.m.
Quincy still PAYS a weather forecasting service? Can't someone use the internet there?
