New Jersey's Democratic governor reverses transit ban on US flags
New Jersey Gov.
Phil Murphy, a Democrat, ordered the Turnpike Authority to reverse its
decision to take down U.S. flags after massive public outcry ahead of
the 9/11 anniversary.
The New Jersey Turnpike Authority announced that
it would no longer allow residents to hang the flags on overpasses and
other public edifices after the agency explained that it could not
continue maintaining the flags.
"The
long-standing policy of the New Jersey Turnpike Authority has been to
prohibit the display of any flags, signs, or banners by private parties
on Turnpike Authority property. While we appreciate the desire of some
New Jersey residents to express their patriotism in these turbulent
times by displaying flags on Turnpike and Parkway overpasses, Turnpike
Authority regulations do not allow it, and for good reason," the
Turnpike Authority said in a statement on Facebook.
