Some on the island of Nantucket are dreading this summer.
“I don’t want the season to begin,” said Nantucket resident Beth Barry, who said she’s not alone in that sentiment. “It’s like having a free strip club. So many people didn’t vote for it.”, Nantucket Town Meeting members passed the topless bylaw 327 to 242. Then-Attorney General Maura Healey backed the legality of the bylaw in December before changing over to the governor’s office.
“This drastically changes our community. How can it be every beach?” she told the Herald. “I wasn’t able to vote from Boston.” She’d be OK with a few beaches going topless for all, but every beach seems excessive, she stressed.
