Mayors Refusal Triggers Council Protest and Budget Talks
The Quincy Common Council heatedly debated patronage and recognition after Mayor Collins ignored the assembly’s protest. Members considered a committee visit to demand views, while routine items included abolishing the printing plant, refinancing the Whalen project, and a $150,000 loan for the Massachusetts Historical Society building. A push to publish proceedings publicly faced delays as members jockeyed over contracting and recount logistics.
