News - I only wish he would put as much determination in improving the quality of service in all Camping World Stores for RVer's needed repair and services on their RV.

The city gets $50 a day and Marcus flies the flag. Everybody is happy.

I like the guy, but I sure wish he had NOT mentioned anything about $500 per day!

Another example of an overpaid city worker flexing his muscle. Following the letter of the law, but lacking common sense. North Carolina as a whole seems to be suffering from advanced stupidity.

What has "love him or hate him" have to do with it.
If he is in violation of the ordinance he should either pay the fines or change to size of the flag to be in compliance.

There are two things I'd love to see
1: a link that is not Fox News (Though the local reports are often good)
2: the actual ordinance limiting the size of the flag which the city claims CW is violating. I have NEVER seen such an ordinance... I am aware of one federal guideline which MIGHT apply. but it has no teeth (you can't fine or sue or anything else) else a whole lot of folks would be in the pokey. (Google US FLAG CODE for more info).

Standing for the flag. Is this a subtle jab at those that don't stand for the flag?

As a Marine I am always happy to see a fellow American fly a flag. There is one flying 24/7 in my front yard. The size of your flag does not denote the size of your patriotism. The company applied for and was given permission to fly a 25 foot by 40 foot flag. If that flag is not large enough to show that your patriotism exists, what is my 2 foot by 3 foot flag doing?
Like was said above, the grossly oversize flag is being used to attract attention to the business. And I would bet it is being deducted as a business expense that would prove it.
Marcus, if you want to really support the Veterans you are using to defend your breaking of laws, start insisting that every RV manufacturer produce at least one model of RV that is ADA compliant and affordable.
Right On!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just saw this on Fox News and wondered what was being said here. DH likes Marcus's stance, but I'm afraid I'm seeing a free ad courtesy of Fox. They LOVE stories like this.

I guess some folks consider themselves above the law.
Usually we call these folks 'politicians'.

His TV show is named for all that he believes.
"THE PROFIT"
Trust him to have said the truth then, after that, travel his line at your own peril.
