MS legislators pass flag resolution Both chambers of the Mississippi Legislature passed a resolution to take up a bill to change the state flag on June 27. The House voted 84-35. The Senate voted 36-14, which haves the way for the creation of a commission to design a new state banner without a Confederacy emblem. The deadline for introducing new bills had already passed, but the legislators voted to suspend the rules to allow for the legislation on the flag. According to The Associated Press, with that done, debate on the flag bill could come as soon as Sunday, June 28. (Source: The Dispatch 06/27/20) https://www.cdispatch.com/news/article.asp?aid=81996
