Detroit Man Pursues Goal Of Lighting Capitol Dome In Red, White And Blue.
Andrew Anthos has returned to the Michigan Capitol after an absence of several months. For the past 15 years, he's been known as the man who wants to light the Capitol Dome in red, white, and blue every night.
When the urge strikes him, he gets on the bus in Detroit to make the two-hour trip to Lansing. He stations himself outside the Capitol, bearing a sign and a small American flag that he waves at pedestrians and passing drivers.
He's lobbied governors, lawmakers and bureaucrats, only to be told there's no money. Now, he says, he'd settle for one night a year.
