The 333 Victory Road Planning board matter concluded on Tueday evening with a positive recommendation and a long list of conditions. I know many would have preferred to see the project blocked but it was simply not within the board's legal authority to do so.

I attended every meeting, followed this through the process and spoke to the board before they issued their decision. My remarks are here that summarized many of the questions and concerns that were brought up by residents.

thank you to all the residents who took the time to participate, write, and speak at the meetings.

This is not good news for Quincy taxpayers and those who want to just buy a college, build a presidential library/performing arts center, while trying to fix sea walls, erect statues, and celebrate everything. This is a wake up call from the bond market EXPERTS

Moody’s cut Quincy’s credit rating to A1, citing $1.8B in debt and dwindling reserves, raising borrowing costs and the risk of another downgrade. See link below ⬇️

I want to extend my deepest sympathies to the family, friends, and fellow firefighters on the death of FF Neil Leonard. His service to the City of Quincy will not be forgotten and his commitment to the profession is appreciated and honorable 🙏
