If the outcome of the monuments being taken down would attract more tech companies from then north east and west coast I would have no problems with this happening. I'm like most of you and don't want to see them come down but if it can better then city we should all be onboard.

Although, I am getting sick off all these asshats who don't pay Orleans parish property taxes making this an issue. Not your parish, if you don't like these statues coming down then buy a condo here and run for Mayor or city council. Sadly, most of these people speaking out against the monuments can not afford to live in a decent area of the city.

The problem is, the mayor brought the issue before the full City Council, then his appointees opined that the monuments were nuisances, then the City Council voted based on those recommendations. He had the votes lined up before he brought it to the City Council.

Was never a truly democratic process. Another citizen brought another monument before a city council committee hearing under the same nuisance law and was never given equal process. This isn't about what the citizens want or what is best for the city, this is about Mitch having proof he accomplished something and has a legacy.
