Welcome to the pilot episode of City Minutes, a new podcast where Joe Murphy and Kevin Mahoney review the latest meetings of the Quincy City Council and discuss the issues shaping the city.

In our first episode, we take a closer look at the proposed purchase of the Eastern Nazarene College campus, the questions councillors are asking as the plan moves forward, and what we believe is really happening with Open Forum and public participation at City Hall. Join us as we break down the meetings, separate the facts from the politics, and offer our perspective on the decisions affecting Quincy residents.

Two major issues. Two significant votes. One busy week at Quincy City Hall.

On this episode of City Minutes, Joe and Kevin discuss the City Council’s vote to reject the proposed purchase of the Eastern Nazarene College campus and what the decision means for the future of the property. They also examine the council’s determination that four Open Meeting Law complaints were without merit, breaking down the debate, the votes, and the political fallout.

From ENC to Open Meeting Law, we cover the facts, the discussion, and the decisions driving the conversation in Quincy.
