PHOENIX — State lawmakers have decided some flags matter than other flags.
On a party-line vote Thursday, the House agreed to allow residents who live in communities governed by homeowners’ associations to fly the Betsy Ross flag, regardless of existing rules. That’s the flag that existed at the time of the American Revolution, with 13 stars in a circle along with the still-existing 13 stripes.
That flag gets added to an ever-growing list of permissible flags at HOAs that now includes everything from the current U.S. flag, the state flag, a flag remembering prisoners of war, and even the Gadsden flag, the one with the coiled rattlesnake which reads “don’t tread on me.”
