Richmond cannot do anything but with the Democrats in complete control of the state government that might change. Among the wish list of items the Democrats have proposed is a bill SB 183 that would:

Memorials for war veterans. Provides that a locality may remove, relocate, or alter any monument or memorial for war veterans located in its public space, regardless of when erected. Current law makes it unlawful to disturb or interfere with such monuments or memorials or to prevent citizens from taking proper measures and exercising proper means for the protection, preservation, and care of such monuments or memorials.

The looting of historical monuments begins...

Why in hell would they NOT have such control? I can see the state owning something like a state highway that goes thru a city, but this is like asking permission to move a water fountain in city hall.

They don't want a dialogue. They want to lecture because they are not interested in the other side's point of view.
