Hanceville Ala. mayor wants New Orleans' Confederate monuments

An Alabama mayor is offering to take Confederate-related monuments recently disassembled in New Orleans.
Hanceville Mayor Kenneth Nail wrote to New Orleans Mayor Mitch Landrieu, asking him to consider donating the monuments for display in Veterans Memorial Park in Hanceville.
The town of about 3,250 people is about 40 miles north of Birmingham. Nail tells The Cullman Times he's heard nothing but positive feedback on the idea from Hanceville residents.
quote:
Landrieu's office didn't immediately respond Monday to an emailed request for comment. New Orleans officials have said they will issue a formal request for proposals to host the monuments in "a more appropriate place" than the high-profile spots they once occupied
quote:
Nail said he's only interested in obtaining the monuments if they can be had at little to no cost for his city -- and so far, he hasn't heard back about his letter.

That bitch Landrieu wants nothing more than to see those monuments get destroyed completely. I don't see him giving them up.

Don't be fooled, fellas. He's just trying to trick all of you that are leaving because of the statue deal to relocate to Hanceville. That place is a shithole.

Mitch is probably extremely busy trying to cover his a$$ right now because Lee Zurik did an investigation last night and found that Trident Response Group, the group out of Texas that Mitch used for "security" was paid by the city of New Orleans multiple times before services were provided or bills for services were even created or mailed.
The guys he interviewed just kept saying this was an unusual process and had no answer for why huge payments would be made before services were even provided or a bill was even made. They were paying guys $250 - $275 per hour and the bills have no explanation of services on them at all. Trident was paid over 1.1 million for three weeks of work (400,000 of that came from this non-profit, Foundation for Louisiana, which donated money for the removal). I'm gonna take a wild guess and say Mitch knows someone at Trident very well.
