Martha’s Vineyard on Clinton Alert
- Share via
EDGARTOWN, Mass. — The First Family is headed to Martha’s Vineyard for an 11-day vacation and rental rates already are rising in anticipation.
The large entourage of Secret Service agents, aides and reporters that will descend on the island along with the Clintons was expected to worsen the island’s summer housing shortage and traffic. But people renting out property will get top dollar.
CBS is paying the MacKenty family $10,000 for their home to accommodate six reporters and photographers documenting the First Family at play. “They made us an offer we couldn’t refuse,” Maria MacKenty told the Boston Herald.
Aides said the Clintons--scheduled to arrive Thursday, the President’s 47th birthday--will stay at the 15-acre estate of former Defense Secretary Robert S. McNamara.
