"It wouldn't have cost the taxpayers a dime," Bevelheimer said.

Does "HYDRO" ring a bell ?

Powers That Be

Quincy Mayor John Spring has declared a state of emergency for the city.

80% of Adams county has no power.

Wouldn't a massive power outage be an Emergency anyways ?

With no power, how do you let everyone know ?

Does it really matter ?

unlimited number of drinks of alcoholic liquor during any set period of time for a fixed price, except at private functions not open to the general public;

(3) sell, offer to sell or serve any drink of

(4) increase the volume of alcoholic liquor
contained in a drink, or the size of a drink of alcoholic liquor, without increasing proportionately the price regularly charged for the drink on that day;

but not limited to buckets), carafes, or bottles of alcoholic liquor which are customarily sold in such manner, or selling bottles of spirits, and delivered to 2 or more persons at one time; or

(7) increasing prices of drinks of alcoholic liquor
in lieu of, in whole or in part, a cover charge to offset the cost of special entertainment not regularly scheduled.

Say WHAT ??

Alderman split over $256 for recycle bins. Read it here.

Mayor breaks the tie and decides for the cheaper Canadian company.

The Mayor then added: "That's why we've always accepted the lowest bid."


A month ago the Quincy Taxpayer lost almost $6 million dollars on a hydro dream.

Who was the low bidder on this ??

Quincy's # 1 cable company

Comcast spokesperson Angelynne Amores said a mudslide around 8:30 a.m. damaged the cable system of a vendor outside of Quincy. She said she didn't have an exact location of where the mudslide happened except that "it wasn't in Quincy."

Amores said Comcast would not release the number of its customers who were affected by the outages.


Cable and Internet out for 12 hrs and no notice what so ever and a pretty piss poor explaination of where it happened and how many affected.


Isn't it great when the city gives you a Monopoly.

What the Pakistani Intelligence Agencies Missed

The compound was three stories tall but had few windows facing outside. It appeared to be worth at least $1 million, but had no telephone or Internet connections to the outside world. It had 12-to-18-foot security walls topped by barbed wire, and occasional plumes of smoke where the residents burned trash that they dare not place outside like other neighbors for trucks to haul away.



Wow. Really ??

OBL Funeral

An official at Monday's Pentagon briefing said the body, once aboard the USS Carl Vinson, was washed and placed in a white sheet. It was then placed in a "White Ford Fairlane" and a military officer read prepared "religious remarks," which were translated into Arabic by a "native speaker" who was not further identified.

The body was then placed on a "prepared flat surface, tipped up, whereupon the Fairlane was eased into the sea," the official said.

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 .

Pros and Cons......

.....of a Republican majority on the Quincy City Council ??????

Nah Nah Nah Hey Hey Hey Goodbye

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.
