“The state flag is only required to be flown outside of state offices.”
Jeff Cadwell ·
“When I look at it, I don't see any history.”
Char Christenson ·
“He commented that the new flag is plain.”
Ted Van Kempen ·
“Administrator Cadwell: The state flag is only required to be flown outside of state offices. The fact that counties display the state flag is completely optional. So there is no requirement for us to upgrade to a new state flag.”
Hubbard County Board · Organization ·
“The official state flag and seal are not only symbols of our state, but also of our history and both the current official state flag and official state seal contain historical information on our farming background, Native American heritage and the coexistence that is part of the rich history of our state.”
Hubbard County Board · Organization ·
“There is a substantial public cost associated with making this change that does not advance the public interest, including every deputy badge, seals in every courtroom and county board rooms across the state.”
Hubbard County Board · Organization ·
“Chair Christenson: I am still really struggling with the new flag. When I look at it, I don't see any history. She favored sending a letter to legislators.”
Char Christenson ·
