Palm Beach County defied Gov. Ron DeSantis, refusing to lower its courthouse flags to half-staff in honor of the late conservative broadcaster Rush Limbaugh, a move that the governor's office called "petty."

The county's courthouse flags remained at full staff, ignoring DeSantis' Tuesday afternoon order directing its U.S. and Florida flags to be flown at half-staff. He also ordered Palm Beach and the State Capitol in Tallahassee to fly their flags at half-staff from sunrise to sunset on Wednesday. Those flags were lowered.
