City fine gives John Kerry lesson in snow diplomacy

Secretary of State John F. Kerry — now Boston’s most prominent shoveling scofflaw — returned home to his Louisburg Square manse last night, his sidewalk newly cleared just in time to avoid an international incident.

Kerry is due to host the foreign ministers of Canada and Mexico in Boston today and tomorrow, he announced on his Twitter feed.

“Glad to welcome FM @Baird & FS @JoseAM­eadeK up to #Boston on Fri. Hope they don’t mind a little snow. #GoodNeighbors,” 
@JohnKerry tweeted.

But in a neighborhood where people were out diligently cleaning their sidewalks, Kerry’s remained untouched two days after the blizzard, and City Hall hit America’s top diplomat with a $50 ticket yesterday after another citizen called it in to the Inspectional Services Department. His was one of 210 snow-removal citations issued yesterday.

Director of Code Enforcement Police Steven Tankle said “the officer did not know” that it was Kerry’s house.

“Well, you know, when ISD goes out, they’re indiscriminate about who they ticket and who they don’t,” said Keeta Gilmore, the chairwoman of the Beacon Hill Civic Association. “Sounds like they’re out on the job.”

Officers patrolling the neighborhood where Zimmerman lives three weeks ago heard the sound of glass shattering, and then saw the former girlfriend drive out of the driveway. They pulled her over for a traffic stop a few streets over because she didn’t have her lights on.

So now provide me with proof that she lied.

I’m surprise Teraaaaaaasa didn’t shovel the sidewalk. But she’s probably down in Palm Beach for the winter.

Oops, I posted to the wrong thread, LOL.

You're probably correct. Once the debt is repaid the servant will be fired.
