Flying the Pride flag or flags representing veteran groups over McHenry County government facilities will require support of at least two-thirds of county board members, though some on the panel insist that supermajority requirement is too high.
The board approved its new flag policy last week. It creates a process for allowing the county to display nongovernmental flags at county properties. The new policy ends at least part of a debate that has endured for nearly two years.
The policy will allow the United States flag, the Illinois state flag and the McHenry County flag -- along with the POW/MIA flag -- to fly at county buildings, according to the policy. Ahead of Tuesday's vote, some board members, mainly Democrats, said they want flag votes to be a simple majority. Requiring a supermajority, they argued, was done to prevent certain flags from flying.
Board member Theresa Meshes, a Democrat from Fox River Grove, attempted to change the policy to a simple majority, but the amendment failed.
