Sargent vetoes Massachusetts flag abuse bill
Governor Francis Sargent vetoes a flag abuse bill that would have imposed a one year jail term and a $1000 fine for wearing or displaying the U S or Massachusetts flag below the waist. He argues reform of government more important than limiting dissent and cites existing laws protecting the flag. Lawmakers criticize him as inconsistent while noting the bill was passed by both houses after a high court voided the old statute. The report also notes reactions from international press outlets and cites related political commentary. The piece closes with a note on the University of Arizona offering beekeeping courses again this fall due to rising prices and nature trends.
