MA Town Backs Down After Residents Rally Around Business Cited for 'Excessive' Flag Display   Fox Ne
A real estate business in Massachusetts will be able to keep a patriotic display of American flags on its lawn after being issued a violation for it.

The Chelmsford building department initially ordered Laer Realty to remove the hundreds of "excessive" flags it had on display for Memorial Day. 

According to the Lowell Sun, the town's manager contacted CEO Stacey Alcorn after the story aired on "Fox & Friends" and it initiated an outpouring of community support for her business.

"Town Manager Paul Cohen confirmed he called Alcorn at the beginning of last week and informed her there would be 'no further enforcement action from the town in this matter.' He said he also apologized for any inconvenience the matter may have caused the company or anyone involved," the report stated.
