Heads of the county of Bergen, New Jersey, were also criticized for having kept his flags with full staff, but explained why in an article on Facebook.
“Today, we have received questions about the lowering of the American flag in the installations belonging to the county,” said the county on Saturday. “The Bergen County policy is to follow the daily status of the daily flag of New Jersey, which can be found here.
