Pass Flag Flying Resolution (No To Flying Political or Special Interest Group Flags)
**This petition was started following the March 24, 2026 Town of Moreau Board Meeting as we are not happy about the direction the Town Board is taking with this resolution.**
Supervisor Fish and Town Board Members:
We are signing this petition to formally urge the Town of Moreau to adopt the resolution, dated March 10, 2026, establishing a clear flag-flying policy for all property owned and/or controlled by the Town of Moreau. Town Hall and Town property should not become a public forum for private expression.
1. The flag(s) should be raised or lowered in accordance with a Presidential Proclamation or Executive Order.
2. Equal Representation: No flags of any kind should be flown on any Town buildings, except for the United States Flag, New York State Flag, Town of Moreau Flag, and the POW/MIA flag. These flags should be viewed as the only symbols that represent all residents and Americans regardless of affiliation.
3. Fiscal Responsibility: Town of Moreau taxpayer funds should not be used to install new poles (like the proposed "caring pole"), purchase flags for special interest groups, or pay for Town employees to maintain these areas.
4. Neutrality & Exclusion: The Town of Moreau should remain neutral and avoid the complexities of political or special interest group displays.
5. Public Town Property vs Private Space: If a Town resident is not happy with the flag flying policy as written, then they are free to fly whatever flag they want on private property. Town Hall and Town property are not the place for said flags to be flown.
6. By some Town Board members proposing to approve only certain special interest groups flags to be flown during certain times of the year creates an environment of discrimination and exclusion for those flags that are not chosen to be flown that represent other residents of the Town.

The town should stand firm and not allow this! It will cause more problems than it is worth. Not everyone agrees with others' causes. This is a very slippery slope for our local government and neighbors to play on.
I feel we should only be flying the federal government approved flags. The special interest groups can fly them at their homes, lodges or meeting places!!
Please pass this resolution in order to include all residents by flying the US flag.. This encompasses all residents so as not to show favoritism to any specific group.
This is what our town should be neutral. The mentioned flags are the only ones that should be flown on our towns properties. They are the only flags that represent all residents of the Town of Moreau. Town of Moreau Resident Kyle Hutter
Town buildings and property are not to be used for political or special interest groups. The Town is to remain neutral. If someone wants representation of their special interest group or political affiliation, then do so on private property. Taxpayers also should not have to shoulder this burden.
I agree
As a Moreau resident, it is completely offensive and repulsive for me and my family to live as if we support or live under the dominion of gay pride. It is the signification that I and many other Moreau residents who refuse to call biology a lie are not welcome in our own community.

The American Flag, State Flag , POW/MIA, and Branch of the US Armed Forces are the only flags to be flown.
