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!

MOORE TRASH!!

     The Moore Administration has made two public statements though the local newspaper in regards to nuisance abatement and tall grass.   They are quoted in the Quincy Herald Whig articles on both September 18 2015 and again most recently on March 16th 2016 stating that they will send nuisance abatement notices to residents who's grass is taller than 10 inches.   They are also quoted as stating that a multitude of notices have been sent out both last year and this year to property owners.  These property owners are charged $60 an hour for city crews to clean up said yards.

While you are out enjoying this beautiful Memorial Day weekend please take a drive by the 22nd and Chestnut area and look at our CITIES reservoir.

How do you ask your citizens to maintain their own properties when the Moore administration is unable to maintain CITY PROPERTY???    How does the Moore Administration justify fining citizens for grass over 10 inches when it is unable to maintain its own property to under 30 inches???  

We are all for a beautiful city!!!   Being born and raised in this beautiful community (unlike our current mayor) we are greatly saddened by the filth and decay that has come upon this city as of the last couple years.  Quincy needs to get its pride back but that can't done by the Moore Administration saying one thing and not following it up with actions.  To stand behind a podium and state you want this city to be beautiful is one thing but REAL LEADERS lead by example not hollow words!!

Maybe Mayor Moore saddened by not winning the "Tree City USA" award in 2014 has decided to go after the "Garbage City USA" designation.  Sure appears that way.

GOOD PEOPLE

Normally this site has a more raw and in your face style to it then what you are about to read.  We will on occasion vary from that style when we see a truly good person with what we feel is good intent towards our community and its citizens as a whole.  This is why we have as of late decided to write on this subject.

    Its our opinion that judges and the person holding the State Attorneys office need to have the ability to objectively look at a persons intent and actions.  Whether that person truly deserves to become a member of our penal system or if there is another route they can steer them into becoming a productive member of our society.  Not all people that commit crimes are hardened criminals.  Some are just everyday ordinary people that made a mistake or chose the wrong path for one reason or another.   Should they be penalized in some manner?   Yes, but giving people the maximum allowable penalty is not always the answer.  There are other routes and avenues available.

     What we respect about Mr. Farha is his ability to see people for what they really are and/or capable of becoming.  He has shown a tough but compassionate approach to the handling of drug cases in our community.  He has helped put the people that deserve to be behind bars there.   He has also helped many individuals who have made mistakes or chose the wrong path to turn their lives around with his approach.   Drugs are a scourge on our community.  They destroy people and families.   Isn't it nice to see people and families overcome this travesty because someone showed them some compassion and a willingness to steer them down the right path?

     The States Attorneys office shouldn't be about purely attempting to put up numbers as we have seen from Mr. Farha's opponent.   It shouldn't be about ego or improving ones resume by seeking the maximum allowable penalty.  It should be about our community, its members, and its betterment as a whole.

     Normally we would be the first to point out Mr. Farha's indiscretions, as his opponent has, but we would have done so in a much more TRUTHFUL manner.   In this case, we think we will show Mr. Farha the same compassion he has shown many of the people and families of our community.  Sometimes you have to see the big picture of someone and not dwell on a few mishaps.  Mr. Farha has done just this with his current position and we project he will do the same as Adams County States Attorney.
