In Fairfax County, Virginia — a Democratic stronghold outside of Washington, D.C., where nearly 75% of ballots last fall were for President Joe Biden over former President Donald Trump — flags have become an issue.
So much so that the county is looking into enacting an ordinance that would regulate the size, height, and number of flags that residents and businesses can fly, WDVM-TV reported — and that includes the American flag.
The station said a public hearing was held on the matter last month.
What are the details?
"We're not stopping anybody from flying an American flag if they want to," Leslie Johnson, zoning administrator for the county's Zoning Ordinance Modernization committee, told the public, according to WDVM. "All we're doing is putting parameters around the size, the location, and the height."
