Mineola, New York, U.S. January 6, 2025. Flags flying at Theodore Roosevelt Nassau County Executive and Legislative Building are not lowered to half mast during a snowy Monday. The day before, Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman, a Republican, said county flags will be lowered for 3 days, Tuesday to Thursday, from when President Jimmy Carter lies in state until his burial. Blakeman’s apparent original decision not to lower county flags to join the symbolic nationwide tribute to President Carter, received negative non-partisan reactions.
