Governor fights Raleigh flag ban on church Christian banner
Governor Jim Martin asks Raleigh mayor to reconsider a city ordinance restricting the Neuse Baptist Church from flying a Christian flag. Pastor M L Walters argues the rule violates First Amendment free speech rights while officials cite a ban on all non municipal, state, or national flags. Walters says he is prepared for court as the board directs the issue to the council or courts.
