We did make the Huffington Post. We are about 2/3 down the page so it is hard to find. The article makes it plain who is contacting the press and keeping this thing alive.

The decision was made well before the meeting . Andy posted that there would be a compromise . Then , just a coincidence , two of the members held up a picture of the new racist flag. Ignoring parliamentary procedure. Then lickty snitch , without discussion , a vote on a so called compromise. So obvious but really not a surprise.

The Uhlfelders speak of injustice in our Courts but offer absolutely no proof that anyone in Walton County has been treated unjustly and had it proven in a court of law and a conviction or verdict overturned.

The entire North end wanted a compromise and there is nothing wrong in Commissioners talking to their constituents telling them what they would like to see. Danny said they would compromise also but he didn't know what that would be anymore than Andy did. Don't drag others (especially those who don't agree with you) into your futile attempts to make it look like a conspiracy.
Its only in your mind.
I was very impressed with the running of the meeting yesterday as I've previously stated in more than one post. And I love that every person got their turn to speak. I may not like the outcome but I think the meeting itself was excellent.
Are you speaking to anyone in particular? Maybe your discussion deserves its own thread if you have other national issues to discuss. Try the lounge for those.
Hope Walton County can find some American made flags to fly by Jan.1, 2016 when this bill goes into effect.
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Cities, counties and the state of Florida will have to purchase state and American flags made in the United States under a bill signed into law by Gov. Rick Scott.
Scott signed the "All American Flag Act" and 47 other bills on Thursday. He also vetoed a bill related to the licensing and regulation of engineers.
Local government and state agencies will have to start following the flag mandate after Jan. 1. Information compiled by legislative staff showed the vast majority of flags bought in the state are already American-made.
The flag bill triggered a debate on the House floor.
Some Republicans said they could not support the legislation because they said it was anti-competitive. But other lawmakers said that taxpayer money should not be spent on flags made in other countries like China.

Yes, the mind of the flag removers is not able to accept but one outcome. It has become a liberal agenda. No compromise. One outcome. Anything else is unacceptable whether it is a political process or a different opinion. They have too much power and they have become opportunistic on ALL political and social issues. There was a political process on this issue but they are not able to accept the outcome. Before all this I did not vote upon party lines but from now on I will give the conservative candidates a better chance to balance out this control of power.
