Minnesota Democrats push bill to cut state aid to cities that fly the original state flag

[FoxNews] New design has been met with criticism from people who consider it a poor replacement and others who say it resembles the Somali national flag.

Given that the feds are cutting funds to states and communities that block ICE/Homeland Security and encourage Medicare/Medicaid fraud, Minnesota needs to cut spending somewhere.
