美国国务卿克里因没有及时清扫波士顿自己住宅外面人行道上的积雪，收到50美元的罚单。本星期，美国东北部地区遭到暴风雪侵袭。
波士顿的降雪量达到60厘米。波士顿市长沃尔什誓言，无论何人，只要不清扫住所周围人行道上的积雪，就要受到惩罚。
星期四上午，克里灯塔山住宅一侧的积雪仍未清扫，于是有关官员开出50美元罚单。
当时克里在沙特阿拉伯，与奥巴马总统一道参加阿卜杜拉国王的葬礼。
克里的发言人说，克里将马上缴付罚款。
星期四上午晚些时候，克里雇人清扫了积雪。
U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry has been ticketed $50 for failing to clear the sidewalk outside his Boston home after a snow storm pummeled the northeastern United States this week.
After a blizzard dumped 60 centimeters of snow on his city, Boston Mayor Martin Walsh vowed to crack down on anyone who left the sidewalks around their homes and businesses buried in snow.
On Thursday, officials tagged Kerry with a $50 fine Thursday morning for failing to clear the snow from the side of his Beacon Hill mansion.
Kerry was in Saudi Arabia attending the funeral of King Abdullah with President Barack Obama.
A spokesman for Kerry said the country's top diplomat will promptly pay the fine.
Snow shovelers hired by Kerry finished clearing the sidewalk late Thursday morning.
