re: City of New Orleans again pushes back deadline for bids on Confederate monument

they are very old, their structural supports are unknown, and they were installed in a manner meant to be permanent. yes they work on the Statue of Liberty but they sure as shite don't try to remove it with a crane

this whole deal was slapped together without the proper investigation and engineering to ensure that there is indeed a way to safely remove them. The city dos not spend the money to design the lift and inform the bidders on that design

no crane company (none, zero, nada) is going to hook up to robert e lee until a professional takes responsibility for designing the lift and agrees to share liability
