Roz Savitt: Leaders would end Confederate plates

So the U.S. Open golf tournament is coming back to Pinehurst in 2024. When that year arrives, I wonder if anyone will count how many Confederate flag license plates in North Carolina were issued since the tragedy in Charleston and after Gov. Pat McCrory said he wanted the issuance of those plates with the flag to be ended.

Our DMV continues to have these plates made. Both the governor and the General Assembly are playing games over which party has the authority to stop allowing them with the hope that passions will fade and this issue will just go away.

That is not leadership. That is cowardice.
