Weather forecast:
1. Quincy City Council cuts $238,750 from Mayor Tom Koch's budget (patriotledger.com) — Quincy city councilors have begun reshaping Mayor Tom Koch’s proposed $492 million fiscal 2027 budget, trimming $238,750 and tabling major items like debt service, pensions, and the assessor’s office for more scrutiny. The cuts so far target election-related police details and underused lines, as councilors press finance officials for clearer explanations of debt costs and pension obligations before final approval.
2. Quincy Councillors Review Prior Property Purchases (thequincysun.com) — Quincy city councillors are pressing the mayor’s team on whether the city can responsibly afford buying Eastern Nazarene College’s 27-acre campus while already holding 73 properties. The oversight hearing dug into stalled projects, recent land buys from Houghs Neck to Quincy Point, and how selling college-owned homes or other parcels might offset the proposed $21 million purchase.
3. Kayaker pulled from the water in Quincy - Boston News, Weather, Sports (whdh.com) — Emergency crews pulled a kayaker from the water off Quincy near Moon Island and Nickerson Rock Wednesday evening, and his condition has not yet been released. Police, fire, and environmental officers remained in the Marina Bay area for hours, and state environmental police are now investigating what happened.
4. South Shore high school sports top performers: B-R softball, baseball clinch playoff spots (patriotledger.com) — North Quincy topped Quincy High, 13–4, behind big offensive days from Ronan Brown and Tim Toland in a full roundup of Wednesday’s South Shore high school action. The story also highlights playoff-clinching wins and standout performances across baseball, softball, lacrosse and tennis, giving Quincy fans plenty of context on how neighboring rivals are faring.
5. New England's RF & Microwave Legacy: Past, Present and Future (microwavejournal.com) — New England’s long RF and microwave legacy now includes cutting-edge work in Quincy, where Anduril runs an underwater autonomous systems division alongside major regional defense and tech hubs. The piece traces how institutions like MIT, Raytheon, Analog Devices, and university labs built today’s radar, wireless, and defense innovations, and looks ahead to 6G, quantum, and advanced sensing technologies.
