Flags at half-staff

Flags are at half-staff in various states to honor Coretta Scott King.

NewMexiKen isn’t sure what law authorizes this, but it seems fitting.

Among the states (and cities) honoring Mrs. King in this way are New Mexico, Georgia, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Rochester (N.Y.).

N.M. Governor Richardson’s Executive Order mistakenly says Mrs. King died in Atlanta. She died at a clinic in Mexico.
