Delaware Flags Lowered to Honor Former Lawmakers Bunting, Viola, and Rev. Jackson

WILMINGTON — Delaware’s state flags will fly at half-staff at government buildings and facilities across the state following an order from Governor Matt Meyer to pay tribute to three prominent figures who recently passed away.

The governor’s directive honors two former Delaware state lawmakers, George Bunting and John Viola, who both died within the past week. The flag lowering also recognizes the life and legacy of Rev. Jesse Jackson.

State facilities throughout Delaware will participate in this gesture of remembrance for the former legislators, who served the people of Delaware during their time in the General Assembly.
