State Flag To Continue Flying In Tupelo
TUPELO, Miss. (WCBI) – Mississippi’s state flag will continue flying at municipal buildings throughout Tupelo, except at the police station.
City Council members voted 4 to 3 to approve an ordinance requiring state flags to fly at every municipal building, except the police headquarters.
The vote comes a week after Tupelo Mayor Jason Shelton ordered the state flag lowered from the police station, and replaced with the All America flag.
The council also approved, by a 6 to 1 vote, a resolution on the flag for state lawmakers.
That resolution asks legislators to either change the state flag themselves, mandate cities fly the state flag, or call a new referendum on the state flag.
