Public commenter asks commission to restore former Utah state flag display
Summary
A member of the Box Elder Committee of Liberty urged the commission to display the historical state flag and criticized removal of the older flag and related symbols from public displays.
During the public comment period, Deanna Hardy of the Box Elder Committee of Liberty urged the commission to restore the state’s former flag in public displays and criticized recent flag changes. Hardy said the historical flag reflected pioneer history and symbols such as the beehive and the seagull lilies, and she said the committee had petitioned the commission earlier in the year to restore the former flag. She asked the commission to display the historical flag and to encourage citizens to fly it.
Hardy’s remarks were submitted as public comment; the record shows no formal county action in response during the meeting.
Why it matters: public comment raised a cultural and historical-symbols issue; commissioners did not act on the request during this meeting.
