First visitors section at council meeting since debate arose
BEND, Ore. (KTVZ) Public reaction to the controversial Confederate flag flown at Redmond s 4th of July parade earlier this month led off Wednesday evening s Redmond City Council meeting.
The flag debate was brought up during the council s visitor comment section since the parade, as residents on both sides of the issue called in to offer their opinions on whether or not the flag should have been allowed.
To some, the patriotic image of the event had been tainted by a single float from People s Rights of Oregon, which they said was meant to depict the history of the Civil War.
