Walton County goes shopping on eBay for new Confederate flag
It has been two days since Walton County voted to replace its Southern Cross Confederate flag with an earlier "stars and bars" version. But in the latest twist to this controversy, a different flag is fluttering outside the North Florida courthouse: a rebel flag with seven stars, not the 13-star version commissioners approved after three hours of acrimonious debate Tuesday.
As it turns out, Walton County had to go shopping for a stars and bars flag. The county found one, all right, on eBay -- for $19.95 plus tax.
A vendor was found in Los Angeles, and the flag is on order and should arrive in DeFuniak Springs in two to three weeks, spokesman Louis Svehla said.
Meanwhile, the debate rages over Walton County's decision to remain the only county in Florida to fly a Confederate flag on county grounds.
