The article says “side of the house” at the start, which is confusing, but as I guessed it uses the word “sidewalk” toward the end.
It’s only reasonable to require homeowners and shop keepers to shovel the sidewalk in front of or alongside their house or store. Makes more sense than taxing everybody to pay public union workers to do the job.
And Kerry can certainly afford to pay someone to do it on a regular basis.
Well his wife can anyway. I doubt he can afford his own hair cuts.
The ordinance in my town is sidewalks need to be cleared within 24 hours of a snowfall. I have never seen it enforced.
I think the reason it says “side of his house’ is because the front of his townhouse is on private property, Louisburg Square. It’s private for all the townhouses there. They even have their own little snow plow. But the side of the house is a public street. So he probably had the front of his house shoveled, the front where the hydrant used to be located before he had it moved, but didn’t shovel the side.
