Andres still displayed the flag, while the homeowners association continued litigation until George Andres foreclosed his home to cover legal fees after being in court at least twenty-eight times. Even after governor [[Jeb Bush]] visited his home along with members of the local and national media, the homeowners association, as well as George, refused to budge. |
