I think not ... Trying to claim that the statues are part of the street car line is a stretch, imho ...
I also think the public hearings were handled fairly and don't see merit in that argument ..
I do think that the city will be forced to name the private citizens that are paying for this removal.

The original Penn Station began demolition in 1963
fricking place was highly offensive

Just stating it wasn't protected under the 1966 act like Rex stated it was. Went to the little historical gallery in Grand Central regarding Penn. That place was a marvel.

But that act does not give protection by law.

There will be several years of this being held up in court.
In the end, not one comes down. They're too important to the rich history, and culture, our city has.
When Obama and Mitch are gone, this will be a non issue.

Because neither of these will be replaced by more heinous individuals?
Sorry, but the decline of New Orleans and this country is real.

That was the first movement to have the statues removed

They meet the criteria, but were a kangaroo court. The decisions were made before the hearings.

So?
I got one... I FIND MLK STATUES AND STREET NAMES OFFENSIVE.
There ya go. Officially documented in 2015.

I agree they had some whackos that wanted their voices heard ... But the council gave both sides equal treatment and really handled the hearings very well ... Don't think a court will use that argument to stop them fromcing down
Posted on 12/30/15 at 12:03 am to threeputt
I don't think it will be a reason either. The council didn't care what the public had to say though.

Why are they offensive to you?
Also, is there a MLK statue? Never looked for one.

Barbier is not going to let this linger for years on his docket.

My understanding is that there is a Federal law protecting monuments to US Servicemen (Lee, Davis, and Beauregard are all veterans of the Mexican American war, and fully reinstated of their veteran status.)
There was a military officer at one of the Debates that presented the city Council with a copy of this federal law. Does anyone have any insight into the strength of this part of the suit?

My understanding is that is not even part of the lawsuit ..
They are not protected under federal law .. The two arguments in the law suit is that the statues are part of the street car line thus get federal funding and can't be removed and that both sides were not treated equally during the public hearings

In other words, they're staying.
It's like they say about threads for golf, lifting weights, and smoking ciggs on the OT: If you don't like them, don't click on them.
If you don't like these statues of American heroes, that stood up to an oppressive Federal government, don't look at them.
Pretty simple fix, and it doesn't cost a thing.

Sad to say that the Statues will go the way of the golf threads very soon.
