The governor s press office rebuked the decision in a statement provided to The Palm Beach Post. It is unfortunate that Palm Beach County would rather engage in petty politics than honor the death of one of their county’s and state’s most prominent residents and a Presidential Medal of Freedom recipient, the statement said.
The town of Palm Beach had already lowered its flag Monday in the spirit of President Joe Biden s directive this week that all federal properties fly their flags at half-staff in honor of the 500,000 Americans who have died from COVID-19.
The governor s order came late Tuesday. Council President Maggie Zeidman said the town would have lowered the flag for the governor s order even if it wasn t already lowered for COVID victims.
This month s Palm Beach Post Power Poll asked influencers across the county to weigh in on questions related to the federal government s response to the coronavirus pandemic, and one about the most famous resident who moved back to town.
As the Biden Administration s proposed $1.9 trillion COVID-19 relief bill begins its journey through Congress, 70% of the 98 Palm Beach County influencers who responded to the poll said it should be passed, while 30% said it shouldn t.
A smaller majority, 62%, thought the Biden administration should impose travel restrictions to curb the spread of the more contagious strain of the coronavirus first found in the United Kingdom.

Mr. Blouin led the town s astute response to the COVID pandemic, which included being the first municipality to close its beach, adding a curfew, closing the Lake Trail temporarily and being the first town to secure vaccines from the county for its residents. The former public safety chief s police training showed as the town was on the forefront of measures aimed at protecting the public s safety.
