RANCHO PALOS VERDES, Calif., Feb. 7 (UPI) -- Real estate mogul Donald Trump is refusing to pay the California Coastal Commission $10,000 to fly a 400-square-foot U.S. flag.
The test of wills began in 2006, when Trump chose a towering 70 foot flag pole -- far above the Rancho Palos Verdes City limit of 16 feet -- and a huge flag, which some residents say obstructs their view of scenic paths and parks, the Los Angeles Times reported Thursday.
