Today's riddle: What is full of holes but still holds water? 🤔 (Answer below!)
1. Mass. State Police trooper facing assault charge in violent Quincy bar beating (boston25news.com) — Quincy police and courts are handling an assault case in which a Massachusetts State Police trooper from Quincy is accused of repeatedly punching a fellow trooper at a Marina Bay waterfront restaurant in June. Investigators cite surveillance video and witness accounts, and the trooper is due for arraignment in Quincy District Court while State Police keep him off duty during the process.
2. Massachusetts city can't display Catholic statues, high court rules (miamiherald.com) — Quincy's plan to place two large Catholic statues on the new $175 million public safety building has been blocked for now by Massachusetts' highest court, which upheld a lower court's injunction. The case, brought by Quincy residents and civil liberties groups, now returns to Norfolk Superior Court, keeping the building's statue niches empty while the legal fight continues.
3. GOOD DEEDS: 2026 Second Quarter Update (video) (franklinmatters.org) — Quincy homeowners can catch a QATV conversation between Register of Deeds William O'Donnell and host Mark Crosby breaking down second-quarter 2026 real estate trends across Norfolk County. The program touches on housing affordability, mortgage rates, key court rulings, and local history projects, offering context that can help Quincy residents better understand the current property market and available registry resources.
4. Owner of restaurants in Stoughton, West Roxbury to plead guilty to paying employees under the table for seven years (bostonglobe.com) — A restaurateur who once co-ran Alfredo's Restaurant & Lounge in Quincy is set to plead guilty to a long-running tax evasion scheme tied to his Stoughton and West Roxbury restaurants. Prosecutors say he paid workers off the books for seven years, and court records show he'll owe more than $2.4 million in combined federal, state, and SBA restitution under a plea agreement.
5. 1925's Lighter Side of Political History (newyorkalmanack.com) — Calvin Coolidge's 1925 New England summer included a stop in Quincy, visiting the birthplace and burial site of John Adams and John Quincy Adams. The piece collects lighthearted political stories from that year, from presidential breakfasts to New York State politics, offering a nostalgic look at how leaders once mixed public duty with quirky personal habits.
