City pulls bids for Confederate monument removal contract

New Orleans Mayor Mitch Landrieu's administration has scrapped its request for bids on a contract to remove Confederate monuments from the city, citing a court order.
The bids were due to be opened Monday (May 23), but the city canceled the solicitation.
Landrieu's attempt to remove monuments to Robert E. Lee, Jefferson Davis and P.G.T. Beauregard has been put on hold since March 25 when the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals issued an order saying the statues had to be kept in place while it considered a request by preservationists to block removal altogether.
Looks like the monuments ain't going anywhere.

Well shite, how are we going to address all the related crime now!?

I am sure the mayor will be on shortly to explain how this will impact ongoing crime fighting efforts.

If this means the "but, but, but the statues" reply goes away, I'm 100% behind it. Not really sure which was worse - the people who wanted them removed or the people who used their removal as a quip in every damn NOLA thread on this board.

I'd love to see who actually bid on the job.

Why isn't BLM volunteering to take the statues down for free?

Maybe they can cover them in purple linen like the Catholics do during Lent.
