New Jersey -But how much can it cost to buy a few cans of paint to make the flagpole that flies the American flag outside the Phillipsburg Post Office look presentable?

“For a federal government building, the flagpole that stands proudly at the entrance to the post office looks deplorable and is a disgrace, to say the least,” a reader says.

On Sept. 7, the flagpole in front of the U.S. Postal Service’s building in Phillipsburg was featured here because of its shabby looks. Within days, crews arrived to give it a makeover.

That’s a first-class response.
