unlike most of the voters, I'd like to make an informed decision!
My opinion on what will happen as opposed to what should happen:

Should:
-layoff some government workers
-create transparency for how all money is spent
-reduce unnecessary expenses
-reduce social services

Will:
-education cuts
-tax incentive cuts
-police and fire cuts


Instead of doing what is right and cutting money appropriately from unnecessary expenses, the politicians will attack areas of highest and most immediate impact on the average tax-paying voter.

Some Quincy Patrolman make north of $135,000 a year with OT. Not saying the job isn't dangerous and it isn't deserved (maybe details aren't) but that is a good gig.

You should take the test. $135,000.00 a year in Qunicy is probably middle of the road.
