“By compelling Florida cities to honor the man who made a career of sowing political division through bigoted and racist statements, Gov. DeSantis is turning our flag into a decoration for his own political theater,” Oakland Park Mayor Jane Bolin said in a statement Sunday.
She called on other mayors, commissioners and city managers to “take a stand” on this issue. Failure to do so is “tantamount to being complicit in politicizing — and even demeaning — the dignity of our flag,” she added.
