For the sake of clarity on my previous post:

If the statue issue never came up, are we all 100% sure the pumps would have been fixed?

If not, then the statues are irrelevant to the pumps. That was my point.

Who knows?

All that's known is that the pumps weren't his priority. Taking down the statues was.

As far as I'm concerned, that's criminal malfeasance.

Your logic is off base because it's not an "either/or" issue.

It simply highlights how inept our city gov't is. They prioritize things that don't matter, while ignoring the important things.

I'm sure we could find tons of stupid shite the city spent money on instead of fixing pumps. The statues are just a glaring highlight of a much larger problem.
