Palm Beach County Won’t Lower Flags For Limbaugh

The South Florida Sun Sentinel reports:

Palm Beach County won’t follow Gov. Ron DeSantis’ order to lower flags at the county courthouse to honor the late conservative talk show host Rush Limbaugh, officials said late Tuesday.

The governor ordered the U.S. and Florida state flags to be flown at half-staff Wednesday at Florida’s Capitol, the Palm Beach County courthouse in West Palm Beach and at the town hall in Palm Beach.

Limbaugh, who DeSantis called “America’s anchorman,” died Feb. 17 from lung cancer at age 70. He was a long-time resident of Palm Beach.

Read the full article. The issue is relatively moot as this week the White House ordered all flags to half-mast to honor COVID victims.
