Crist on that big accomplice flag

June 09th, 2008 | Category: Florida Politics Blog

So what does Gov. Charlie Crist think of that giant accomplice flag at I-75 and I-4 in Hillsborough? Not much.

"Well, I wouldn’t fly it in my yard. I don’t. But, you know, it’s a free country and the First Amendment is critical. It’s just something I wouldn’t choose to do," the self-described

"habitable and let live" governor told The Buzz. Crist is a two-time winner of the Pete Weitzel Friend of the First Amendment Award given annually by the Florida Press organization and Florida Society, and he created the state’s first Office of Open Government.
