What is this community coming to? We can’t put a flagpole in Harbor Park because the plans don’t specifically allow for it? No wonder it’s impossible to get anything done on the state and federal levels…we can’t even get something done on the local level!
But, we can have $5,000 benches and plaques, rain gardens that really don’t look like a garden, rock walls that match the rest of the state, narrow residential streets without sidewalks, street lights that don’t give much more light than a candle, but we can’t have a memorial flagpole in memory of a much-loved community member? This issue has gotten entirely out of hand and none of us should allow this bureaucratic foolishness to continue.
Theflagwill be a perfect addition to Harbor Park where it will proudly wave over all of us, especially those of us who knew and loved Dick Joynes. Raise the flag!
