It appears as though the new

state flag will not be flying over City Hall in Fayetteville anytime

soon. That's not the city's fault, however, as the state will need a couple

of months just to get new flags manufactured and sent to the various municipalities.

According to City Manager Joe Morton, state law requires every local government

that receives state funds to fly the official state flag, but since that

is logistically impossible for several weeks, Gov. Roy Barnes signed an

executive order last week allowing the old flag to remain in the air at

municipal buildings across the state until replacements arrive.
