Governor Pillen delegates Yutan flag-lowering authority to honor Wendell D. Pascarelli
Governor Jim Pillen delegated authority to Yutan’s mayor to lower flags within the city in honor of Firefighter/EMT Wendell D. Pascarelli. A municipal lowering action and the precise service schedule have not been verified.
Mast interpretation
The September 20 and September 21 governor releases repeat a delegation to the Mayor of Yutan. The mayor may direct flags within the City of Yutan to be lowered immediately through the day of service. This is not a statewide lowering directive.
The releases do not establish the retained September 29 schedule, exact clock hours or that the mayor exercised the delegated authority. Those details remain under review.

Corrected statewide coverage to a Yutan-only delegation, linked both dated governor releases and preserved the uncertain stored schedule under an explicit review hold.
