I know. I've been there. And it was with a standard size flag... now imagine it with flag that nearly the size of a basketball court at 3,200 square feet and a 130-foot flagpole!
The neighbors complained about the noise, the city passed an ordinance limiting the height of a flagpole. The car dealership basically gave the city the finger, their fines are now over $20,000!
With Republicans who like to wrap themselves in flags now want to pass a state law.
WITNJun. 18, 2025State lawmakers are now getting involved in the debate of whether a huge American flag can fly on private property.NC House Bill 926, known as the Regulatory Reform Act of 2025, was revised yesterday during a committee meeting to include language that would limit a city’s ability to regulate the display of flags on private property.This comes as the City of Greenville filed a lawsuit earlier this month against RV dealership Camping World, following the ongoing dispute over the giant American flag flying over its Evans Street location.Greenville is seeking a mandatory injunction against Camping World after fining the dealership every day since January for violating city code.
But, but, but this is about the FLAG! It is about who is more patriotic, mine's is bigger then yours! So I must be more patriotic than you!
However, Section 17a of H.B. 926 now reads, “No city shall adopt or enforce an ordinance that prohibits or restricts, or has the effect of prohibiting or restricting, a property owner from displaying a flag of the United States of America or the State of North Carolina, including prohibiting or restricting the size of the flag or the height of any associated flagpole, on the property owner’s property.”
So what that it keeping people up at night. So what that the snapping of the flag is causing stress related illnesses,
Once again:
Republicans = ME
Democrats = us.
