Minnesota Democrats push bill to cut state aid to cities that fly the original state flag
The Minnesota House of Representatives introduced a bill that could penalize cities and counties for not flying the redesigned state flag.
Members of Minnesota’s Democratic-Farmer-Labor (DFL) party pushed legislation Monday to reduce state aid to a county or city that “flies or otherwise makes use of a state flag other than the design of the state flag as certified in the report of the State Emblems Redesign Commission.”
If passed, the bill would go into effect in 2027.
Fox News Digital reached out to Minnesota state House members and the speaker of the House for comment.
The bill followed several cities and communities in recent years voting in favor of returning to the original state flag, which was adopted in 1893. On the same day the bill was introduced, the Inver Grove Heights City Council voted to join Elk River, Champlin, Zumbrota and Plainview in flying the original flag on city buildings.
The State Emblems Redesign Commission voted 11-1 to approve a new flag design in 2023 after critics argued the original flag image was considered racist to Native Americans.
“The seal depicts a Native American riding off into the sunset while a White settler plows his field with his rifle leaning on a nearby stump,” The Associated Press wrote in 2023. “The imagery suggests to many that the Indigenous people were defeated and going away, while Whites won and were staying.”
The new flag now features an eight-pointed star against a navy blue background shaped to resemble Minnesota, next to a solid light-blue field, which represents the state’s waters, according to the commission. It was officially adopted in 2024.
The new design has been met with its own criticism from people who consider it to be a poor replacement and others who accused it of resembling the Somali national flag.

In response to the new bill, Republican House Speaker Lisa Demuth called it “dead on arrival,” suggesting there was no path forward in the Senate.
“That bill is dead on arrival. There is no way this bill is moving through,” Demuth told CBS News. “To know that Democrats are trying to take funding away from our police and fire, from our cities, it’s ridiculous. We have real work that could help Minnesotans.”

Wearing only a watch, a headlamp and flip-flops isn’t a great disguise when trashing a neighbor’s motion light
A Florida man was arrested last week on charges of trespassing on his neighbor’s property. He’s accused of performing unwanted handyman work on a faulty motion light and security camera.
The Santa Rosa County Sheriff’s Office says the man, identified as 62-year-old Robert Boston, took a ladder onto his neighbor’s property at 3 a.m. on March 25. Wearing only a watch, a headlamp and flip-flops, he’s accused of removing a malfunctioning floodlight and Ring camera.
Santa Rosa’s Press Gazette reports that he was arrested on May 14 after a warrant was executed. He faces one count of trespass with intent to commit an offense and criminal mischief with less than $1,000 in damage. His bail was set at $2,000.
The poorly disguised Boston allegedly caused $800 in damages by removing the faulty equipment and pulling wiring loose inside the wall.
The sheriff’s office’s report states that Boston made his way onto his neighbor’s property by walking around a six-foot privacy fence that separates his property from his neighbor’s.
He then ignored the “No Trespassing” signs and went to work. He reportedly told investigators that the floodlight and Ring camera had been malfunctioning for several weeks prior to the incident.

The neighbor claimed this wasn’t the first time Boston had done something like this, although it wasn’t mentioned whether he was in his watch, headlamp, and flip-flop disguise during the prior incident.
She said he had turned off her floodlights on Dec. 24, 2025.
The local outlet added that the “security footage and the neighbor both confirmed the nude man walking on the property matched Boston’s driver’s license photo.”
That’s interesting. I had no idea there were areas of the country where you could have your driver’s license photo taken without any clothes on.
A fun little fact mentioned by the Press Gazette is that Boston is also married to Santa Rosa County School Board Chair Carol Boston. Man, Florida knows how to have fun.
