Virginia Democrats at Odds Over Terms of Confederate Statue Removals
From the Feb. 14, 2020, Daily Progress (Virginia)" by Ned Oliver.
Sadly, it is just a handful of Democrats in the Virginia senate pushing for this. The senate's version of the Confederate statue removal bill has requirements that local authorities would have to meet before removing the monuments.
Among them:
Mandatory historical study and public meetings over the course of 100 days, a super majority vote by the local governing board and an optional referendum.
The House of Delegates says this is not necessary.
Otherwise, certain Virginia cities will have celebrations and have those statues down before the ink dries on the signed bill.
