2) If there are real bidders on the statues, he's going to put the price up too high and stipulate to the types of "organizations" that they will entertain offers from. I assure you, the one thing, the last thing that Mitch or anyone on that council wants is for someone to buy those statues.....he especially will never allow anyone within any proximity to New Orleans to get their hands on them.

This. He doesn't want those statues publicly displayed anywhere. They're going to sit in their new wooden boxes until they're forgotten about, then sold for scrap for a fraction of what they are worth. Mark my words...

I will say that if folks like Mitch and Dee Clemmons keep poking the bear, the bear is eventually going to poke back.
