Shoveling snow is for the tax payers.
Via The Hill
Secretary of State John Kerry was ticketed Thursday for not shoveling the snow outside his Boston home.
About six inches of snow accumulated on the sidewalk outside Kerry’s primary residence in Louisburg Square on Wednesday. A city report posted Thursday said a ticket had been issued for the unshoveled powder after a citizen filed a complaint.
Boston saw more than two feet of snow this past week during Winter Storm Juno that pounded the Northeast. The city’s 24.6 inches was the sixth most ever recorded, according to the National Weather Service.
A State Department spokesperson told The Boston Herald that Kerry “will gladly pay the ticket.”
The pair bought the home in 1995 for $1.7 million, according to real estate site Zillow. The 8,000-plus-square-foot five-story brick rowhouse on Beacon Hill was built in 1899 and includes a private elevator. Property records peg the property’s worth at upwards of $11.5 million.
