The heritage people should be plenty happy with this.

They would have been. If the people of Georgia had chosen it at the ballot box over the old flag. But through trickery and typographical errors that opportunity was taken away. The legislators can now go back and say "I voted for the old flag but there was a typo. Its not my fault that you don't get to vote."

I don't buy it and doubt the heritage folks will buy it either. They should have held the vote. I suspect the new flag would have won. Now it will continue to fester because the legislature was afraid of the voters. Sad.

Hmmmm.... And I should run for office in THAT hornet's nest? [g]

The 1956 flag was not chosen at the ballot box, so what is the whining about having it voted on now?
