Today's riddle: What do you get when you cross an angry cow with an angry sheep? 🤔 (Answer below!)
• Flock camera usage sparks privacy concerns in Quincy - Boston News, Weather, Sports (whdh.com) — Quincy officials have postponed a decision on whether to keep using Flock automated license plate reader cameras, after residents raised privacy concerns. The police chief defended the system as a limited investigative tool, noting that only a small fraction of the 700,000 plates recently scanned have been investigated.
• Adjudicating 'History and Tradition' (lawliberty.org) — Quincy's plan to place statues of Catholic saints on its new public safety building has been blocked by Massachusetts' highest court, which says the display would likely violate the state constitution's protections against religious favoritism. The ruling, and the broader legal debate it sparks, could shape how future public art and religious symbols are handled in Quincy and across the state.
• Vera Bernard celebrates 102nd birthday in Quincy with mayor, neighbors (patriotledger.com) — A longtime Hancock House resident just marked her 102nd birthday in Quincy with an early party attended by Mayor Thomas Koch and many neighbors. Living in the same apartment for more than five decades, she celebrated with proclamations, cake, and close friends who've watched her remain active and independent well past 100.
