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

I guess people do not want their cars torched.

Mayor Mitch Landrieu’s administration is giving contractors another month to submit bids to remove three Confederate monuments, a possible sign the project has not garnered interest among firms that could do the work.
This is the second time the city has pushed back the deadline for contractors to bid on the removal of statues of Robert E. Lee, Jefferson Davis and P.G.T. Beauregard. Bids were initially due on Friday, but the city will now accept them until May 23.
The reason for the delay was not immediately clear, though it suggests the city may still be struggling to find a company to take the job.

I refuse to visit the city until the statues come down and all the confederate jasmine is removed.

there are no interested bidders and there will be no interested bidders
nobody wants this job even if the emotional baggage weren't there
the liability is not worth the money

Mitchie doesn't care if they get removed because he's already milked the issue for all it's political worth.
I wish the local media would dig a little deeper into the claim Mitch made last year that when he was young, he was in a convenience store that was being robbed. Mitch thought the mention of his brush with serious crime would give him some street cred.

They know the City can't hide them if they actually put in a bid like they are illegally doing now (but, there's enough nuance in the statute to where it's an open question)

Just wait, some DBE business will step in and be more than happy to rip them down

I just don't get it. Leave these statues alone and put up any statue you want that represents your interests.
By removing the confederate statues they are setting the precedent to have any statue they may put up removed one day.

NOLA native. I have totally switched sides on this issue. Want to see the statues come down just to piss off all the rednecks from around the state.

I'll go put in a bid to remove the statues. They aren't going to like the number.
