Something to Think About Before Taking Down Those Confederate Statues-- Part 2
The Arcata, Cal. mayor was estimating the cost at $525,000 based on the cost of four statue removals in New Orleans awhile back which cost a total of $2,100,000. Divided by four, that came out to $525,000 each.
Why was this cost so high? Litigation, extensive police involvement and overtime. I might also add the cost of repairs and cleaning the statues after the "Vandalism" actually "Hate Crimes" committed against them.
San Antonio spent $258,680 to remove its statue. (No more visiting there for awhile for me.)
Cost in Dallas to remove one statue came to over $450,000.
Actually, I can think of a much cheaper way to remove or take down a statue. Round up those UNC "students" who took down Silent Sam, pay their airfare to California and let them do their thing. They'll commit their "vandalism" for free. And, they have experience at that.
