The City of Sacramento will no longer require standing, saluting, or playing the National Anthem at events held in the city. The language in the charter defined the procedure, and a vote by city council, without debate, removed the law. Darrel Steinberg stated earlier in the month that he felt this law no longer was required. This all happened after a Las Vegas man said he would sue the city if required to stand and salute the playing the National Anthem at Kings Games.
