It has been a story that has been talked about for the past few weeks or so, the future of the confederate flag. It has been voted on in the South Carolina Senate and came back a unanimous 36-3 vote to remove the flag. With that vote, the bill now moves to the house where it will need to be voted on again.
“The South Carolina Senate … rose to this historic occasion, with a large majority of members from both parties coming together in the spirit of unity and healing that is binding our state back together and moving us forward in the right direction,” Gov. Nikki Haley said after a procedural vote on Monday’s afternoon.
The question stands as to whether or not the bill will officially pass removing the confederate flag. We will be following the story closely!
