The county administrator’s proximity to legal counsel on commission procedures is not as close as it appears. (© FlaglerLive) For at least the last four or five decades meetings of the Flagler County Commission began either with the pledge to the flag or with the pledge and a moment of silence. The days of sectarian piety had given way to more respectful deference to our rich diversity of beliefs, doubts and disbeliefs, and to the law: if the First Amendment is to mean anything, Government doesn’t get to choose one over the other.  A year ago Dave Sullivan, newly named chairman, broke that precedent by invoking “God” in the faintest way, to “bless all the citizens,” as he put it. He’d carefully checked his wording with the county attorney beforehand. His few words were in fact quite neutral and especially inclusive. But he’d breached the wall (and drawn the threat of a lawsuit).
