Scott Wiener thinks the status quo is fine. There are folks willing to take over control of the PUBLIC flag from MUMC, but until such time as MUMC gets democratic (small d), they will continue to divide the community.<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08359712473083091475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5141703.post-85492863226577637902012-10-08T17:43:47.474-07:002012-10-08T17:43:47.474-07:00Please create an action plan so that you can contr...Please create an action plan so that you can control the flag.

I'm sure you've provided the back story before, but for those of us that do not know, how exactly did it come to be that the MUMC controls the Pride flag? Why is the Pride flag in the hands of a private business organization rather than the City or a community entity?MITCH HIGHTOWERhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13749848471683876835noreply@blogger.com
