Officials in this city where Robert E. Lee and Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson are buried are considering limits on downtown flag-flying, including the Confederate flag, angering defenders of the divisive Southern symbol.
The complaints convinced city leaders they should have clear guidelines governing the flying of flags and banners on light poles, Mr. Ellestad said.
People complained "that displaying the Confederate flag is very hurtful to groups of people," Mr. Ellestad said. "In their mind, it stands for the defense of slavery."
