WHAATTTT!!! Why would anyone report or complain about an American Flag mounted on a street sign. No obstruction of view. The flag is beautiful. Why waste my taxpayer funds to check something like this when there's so much ugly storm debris and damage that needs attention. Shame on the unpatrotic fool who reported this item. No danger, no obstruction, no damage, no hazard. I love seeing the flag every day.

Wait--so we're allowed to modify street signs? I wasn't aware that that was allowed. Huh.

This issue will be addressed as nothing is allowed to be hung on a county sign pole.

The flag will be removed from the pole as it is illegal to attach items to the county sign poles.
