Speaker 1: South Boston City Councilor Ed Flynn suggested moving the Saint

2
00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:06,800
Speaker 1: Patrick Today Parade out of South Boston two years ago

3
00:00:07,200 --> 00:00:10,640
Speaker 1: after public drinking and fights marred the event that draws

4
00:00:10,720 --> 00:00:14,440
Speaker 1: tens of thousands of visitors. Last year, Flynn says things

5
00:00:14,480 --> 00:00:17,720
Speaker 1: improved due to the efforts of Boston police and the community,

6
00:00:18,079 --> 00:00:21,600
Speaker 1: and this year, Flynn is hoping that that positive trend continues.

7
00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:26,120
Speaker 2: We have to keep up the progress and ensure that

8
00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:31,560
Speaker 2: we have zero tolerance for public drinking, violence fighting. This

9
00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:35,320
Speaker 2: is a parade that respects our South Boston veterans, our

10
00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:38,120
Speaker 2: military families, and Gold Staff families.

11
00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:41,560
Speaker 1: Flynn says he's been meeting regularly with police and community

12
00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:45,280
Speaker 1: groups since last year's parade and hopes this year's event

13
00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:50,000
Speaker 1: will continue the progress made since last year. Mike Macklin WBZ,
