Reporting an uptick in rowdy parties that fly in the face of coronavirus public health precautions, a pair of Boston city councilors are looking to up the ante for people who violate pandemic requirements by proposing increasing fines to at least $1,000.
Boston City Councilor Ed Flynn on Monday posted a photograph of an order for a hearing he and fellow Councilor Michael Flaherty have filed to discuss increasing fines for large house parties. The two legislators argued these types of unruly gatherings are disturbing neighbors’ quality of life.
