MOORE LIES!!

Recently there has been a noticeable lack of quality in the city of Quincy's drinking water.   The Moore administration as well as Alderwoman Heinecke have fabricated a couple reasons as to why this has occurred.

The Moore Adminstration states:

"The issue has to do with low flows in the river and dry conditions"

Alderwoman Terri Heinecke states:   "With the low levels of water, the algae in the water is pretty high so they are putting more chlorine than they normally do in the water to kill the algae. "

Apparently these rocket scientists failed to fact check their statements.   A simple scan of The Army Corpse of Engineers data and the USGS shows data quite the contrary on both flow rates and water level.  

Note the water level at Lock and Dam 21 has been high for at least the last two weeks.

Note that with the increased water levels there is a direct correlation to the water flow rates at Lock and Dam 21.

Note that the river stage in Quincy is still slightly above normal stage at the Quincy Riverfront.

Yesterday, the Quincy Herald Whig is quoted stating  "For the second time in three years, the taste of the city of Quincy's water has residents reaching for the bottled variety and businesses changing how they serve their customers."

Interestingly enough the Moore Administration has been at the helm during these same three years.

If they are going to lie about the details do you really believe them on the overall picture?

MOORES SCORECARD: F

The Moore Administrations idea of a SCORECARD (which he campaigned on) is a novel idea and the concept has some merit.   You look at what your currently accomplishing and try to improve upon those numbers.  You don't throw out old lists.   You don't eliminate projects from those lists once they have reached a certain hypothetical deadline to make your numbers look better.  You report on all areas, not just the ones you know you can improve on and use for future political gain or political ads.  
You MAINTAIN the same level of service that the public expects while trying to do so in a more efficient manner and focus on a few specific areas.  This isn't what is happening in our fair town as seen in our last article.

Normally we wouldn't make a big deal about orange barrels being placed somewhere around town as it means something is being fixed or about to be fixed.   Not in the case of these three!!  These three barrels have been sitting untouched for well over a year now.  They are an eye sore and obviously indicate a piece of our cities infrastructure that the Moore Administration has NEGLECTED!   Mayor Moore should get on the cities website, find HIS scorecard, and give himself an F!
