re: Landrieu says there will be a 30 day delay in removing PGT Beauregard Monument

This will get interesting, the city will threaten them if they want to keep it up, and City Park members like myself will likely threaten to withdraw support if they tear them down.

Maybe, just maybe this gives Landrieu some cover if he has come to his senses just to drop the whole damn thing. If City Park refuses to let it go, then he's no longer on the hook.

This is what Im hearing from first-hand sauces in City Park Admin. There are major donors to the Park that are in a tussle about this and are demanding City Park Administration defend its assets or lose donors($$$). City Park Administration higher-ups are mostly politically aligned with Landrieu so they could give two shits about the statue. City Park is between a rock and a hard place. They are going to have to decide to between their political ideology and their revenue stream. In other words, do something they never have and grow a fricking backbone.
