La Plata, MD - A discussion among the Charles County Commissioners slated for Tuesday, Aug. 29 concerning the flying of the Confederate flag at the Charles County Fair turned into a non-issue when Commissioner President Peter Murphy [D] announced the matter had been resolved.

“What has occurred is that the fair board has met with the Sons of Confederate Veterans group,” he added. “I am very proud to say that by working together, they have resolved this issue. Together it has been agreed they will set up their display, however, there will not be any flag flown.

from the article, "He said that while the county had no authority to impose its will upon the Charles County Fair Board, he wanted at least to discuss the matter with his fellow commissioners." Total BS, that's exactly what they intended.

from what I understand the fair board made its decision in conjunction with the sons of the confederacy prior to the county commissioners meeting. The SOTC agreed that it would be best to not fly the flag, but they are still having their normal display. What is the problem?
