re: This NOLA baw summed up the Confederate statue removals perfectly

The money could have been used to address infrastructure issues at the Sewage and Water Board. Those issues allowed for flooding of impoverished families in NOLA. I would imagine if given a choice, they would have rather kept the statues and not had to deal with their homes flooding. FWIW, I had an SJW Dem friend of mine state that the tax funded money used by the city to remove the statues wasn't money that could have been used to address flooding concerns. My response...it all comes the same source. Her response...no it doesn't. Needless to say, I stopped there. FWIW she has a bad case of TDS. Shocking I know.
