WINONA, Minn. – Somebody from Winona, apparently a County Board member, seems keen against Minnesota getting a new state flag. A county commissioner in nearby Houston County, Eric Johnson, said he received a query from Winona about how a Houston County resolution opposing a change of flags was worded. Johnson doesn’t recall exactly who made the inquiry from Winona County. It was Johnson who drafted the Houston County resolution. He’s hoping he’s ignited broad oppostion to the new flag.
