How we formed
We are a determined group of Quincy residents who came together when the mayor proposed exorbitant raises for himself and the city council in the spring of 2024. Mere weeks later, with no public hearings, the council approved the mayor’s requested 79% raise (taking his salary from about $159,000 to $285,000) as well as their own 50% pay boost (from about $30,000 to $44,500). Residents joined under the banner A Just Quincy (AJQ) to fight the raises and push for city leaders who will work to serve the public, not themselves.
