Turns out it was the Mayor
Tifton mayor takes heat for flying Mexican flag Display at City Hall in memory of slain immigrants The Associated Press Published on: 10/07/05 TIFTON — Saddened by the killings of six Mexican immigrants in his town, Mayor Paul Johnson flew their country's flag outside his City Hall in their honor. Foreign flags weren't a first for the south Georgia city — Canadian flags routinely fly outside motels there in honor of snowbirds who drive through to spend their winters in Florida. Johnson didn't expect to be criticized for flying a Mexican flag. But a local radio station received seven back-to-back callers Thursday who said the U.S. and Mexican flags should not fly together. http://www.ajc.com/metro/content/metro/1005/07mexicanflag.html
