Menino Takes First Steps To Evict Occupy Boston Protesters


Menino Takes First Steps To Evict Occupy Boston Protesters. According to the court filing, Boston police, the Boston Fire Department, and the Boston Health Department complain that the protesters’ camp is a public safety problem, violating the city’s health and fire codes. “If there is a problem with public safety, I will remove them. If there is a public health issue, I am not going to stand for that either. I understand their cause but when it comes to public safety, I am going to enforce the laws,” Mayor Menino said. The two sides are due in court tomorrow. [WCVB]
