More than 400 people have signed a petition asking town officials to do something about the Nazi flag.

Preble Town Supervisor Jim Doring says Fish refused to take the flag down when they talked. Doring says Fish told him he was flying it because of a dispute with a neighbor.

Experts say Fish is protected because the flag is on private property.
