That money would be spent on maintenance over time anyway. Non-story.

Stop by some of the poorer sections of NOLA and mention it to them.

You're just mad they won't give it to some rich people to "stimulate job growth" for their portfolio manager's fee.

[True Federalist (진정한 연방 주의자)]

Removing blight that impedes economic development costs money.

[ProgressiveCanadian]

Obvious distraction story considering all other government waste is billions more than a measly 2.8 million.

Why don't you address the point hes making? It's quite valid.

Maybe scrutinize the massive sums of money our government spends on the military and wars before you come for a tiny amount of money that makes a city more friendly and less divisive.

Or, can you imagine the amount of paper towels the narcissist president can acquire, and then throw at people in desperate need, as if they were just dogs/animals.

[Devout Centrist]

I agree, Grumps. We need these statues removed Revolutionary War style:

Hopefully the cost argument will be irrelevant soon.

I don't find it valid, that's why.

But I bet Grumps has no problem with $72,057,931 spent on golf trips for the mango Mussolini.

Hopefully some real patriots actually just destroy it themselves, would save everyone some money......

Now that's a cost effective idea.

Sure they spend money, but I wonder how many years $2.1 million would have covered.  I have to believe it's a realllllllllllllllly long time.  The Lee Statue for example, wasn't that pristine.

How can a Robert E. Lee statue be a war memorial when war was never declared?

[Ye We Can]

Absolutely worth the cost.
