ST. PAUL, Minn. – A bill in the legislature supported by a group of Republican lawmakers would put Minnesota’s new state flag and seal designs to a public vote this fall.
“We need to let the people of Minnesota have input and be heard in this process,” said Sen. Steve Drazkowski.
Drazkowski said if the public gives thumbs-down to the new designs, it’s back to the drawing board on the state flag and seal.
Secretary of State Steve Simon has said that a public vote wouldn’t be constitutional because Minnesota doesn’t have initiative and referendum and the only statewide votes are for candidates or for amendments to the Minnesota Constitution.
