Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman said Sunday that American flags at all county buildings will be lowered at half-staff in memory of late President Jimmy Carter.
Blakeman said in a statement that the flags will be lowered on Tuesday through Thursday.
Gov. Kathy Hochul directed flags to be flown at half-staff beginning last week through Jan. 28.
Some residents told News 12 they were bothered by it.
"He wasn't who I voted for, but I still agree that you need to be civil and do the right thing for somebody right. He was still a president. They should lower the flags," said Stuart Gelb, of Roslyn.
Suffolk says their flags have been lowered since Dec. 30 and will remain so through Hochul's direction.
