This was on the AJC website "Political Insider" column today:

"Lt. Gov. Mark Taylor said Wednesday the state flag referendum which Gov.-elect Sonny Perdue promised in his campaign would be "hopelessly divisive" for Georgia and declared in an interview with the Associated Press, "We need to leave this flag issue alone."

Taylor, who will become the ranking Democrat in the Statehouse in January when the Republican administration comes to power, said the state should stick with the flag adopted last year even though it angers some Southern heritage groups because it all but eliminates the Confederate battle symbol.

Rather than debating a symbol, state policy-makers should focus on jobs and schools and should protect the state's image as one that maintains "a vibrant business climate and celebrates the diversity of our state," he said.

LOSERS don't set the agenda for the state. The WINNERS do. And they can celebrate "our" diversity by restoring the falg.
