This should never have needed a vote. None of those flags should have been flown AT ALL FOR ANY REASON.
I want the 3 that voted against this kicked off the council and banned.

>The Town of Erie will no longer fly Pride and Juneteenth flags on municipal flagpoles after a contentious town council vote in late August that passed by a single vote, 4-3.
The decision affects six town-owned flagpoles located at Town Hall, the police station, the cemetery and other municipal locations. Erie will only display the U.S., Colorado, Town of Erie and Prisoner of War/Missing in Action flags.
Council members who supported the measure argued that flying the Pride and Juneteenth flags showed favoritism to certain groups and created inequity.
"By flying the Pride flag above the entire cemetery, then we made it an issue where we are taking sides, which goes back to the heart of this issue," said Brandon Bell, mayor pro tem.
