Read full article: Lieutenant gov's flags fly in the face of some PA lawmakersHARRISBURG, Pa. โ Pennsylvaniaโs lieutenant governor, Democrat John Fetterman, may have gotten under somebodyโs skin. A provision slipped into lame-duck budget legislation Friday would ban flags not approved by lawmakers from flying at the state Capitol โ such as the pro-marijuana legalization and LGBTQ- and transgender-rights flags that Fetterman hangs from his second-floor outdoor balcony that overlooks the building's broad front steps. In an interview, the irreverent Fetterman said he hadn't known about the provision until told by a reporter Friday. Fetterman's marijuana flag flies year-round, while he flies LGBTQ- and transgender-rights flags during Pride Month in June. I didn't know we had that division in the state police,โ Fetterman said.
