THORNTON — Eric Smith has a second letter to go with the one he originally received from the East York Villas Homeowners Association on Aug. 9. That letter ordered him to remove his “Tea Party flag.” The second letter, dated Aug. 19, said the opposite.

“We got a letter from the attorney that was e-mailed to us that said we would be allowed to fly our flag,” Smith said.

He added that he hasn’t received a complete explanation for why he was told originally to take the flag down.

“The attorney said it was a covenant about advertising and billboards,” he said of a quote the homeowners association had given to an area newspaper.
