April 11, 2013 We have had some time to absorb what took place on election day. Quincy will have a new Mayor when Kyle Moore takes over from John Spring.

I, for one, would like to salute all of the candidates who were concerned enough about their community that they tried to make a difference in the quality of life for it's citizens.
