John Kerry Fined for Not Shoveling Boston Home Sidewalk

Secretary of State John F. Kerry was slapped with a $50 fine on Thursday for failing to clear the sidewalk of his Boston mansion following the recent blizzard commonly referred to as Snowmageddon 2015.

The Boston Globe reported that Kerry was on his way to back to the Commonwealth after attending the funeral of King Abdullah with President Obama in Saudi Arabia.

Kerry was fined for failing to have the sidewalk on the Pinckney Street side of his Beacon Hill home cleared.

He will promptly pay the fine, which was issued at 9:45 a.m. Thursday, his spokesman Glen Johnson said Thursday afternoon.

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