Flutterby™! : Pushing back on Shen Yun

Good for her: Boston City Council was all set to honor a controversial Chinese dance troupe; then one councilor objected

Councilor Sharon Durkan (Back Bay, Beacon Hill, Fenway, Mission Hill) brought the process to a halt today when she objected to a motion by Councilor Erin Murphy (at large) to have the council issue a proclamation honoring Shen Yun Performing Arts, a troupe that is not based here but which does perform here.
