Montgomery County Executive Ike Leggett said Tuesday the process is underway to remove the Confederate statue from the Red Brick Courthouse grounds in Rockville.
Leggett said in a phone interview with Bethesda Beat that the county is getting estimates from contractors to remove the statue, which he expects to receive by the end of the week.
Were in the process of getting it done, Leggett said.
The county executive said the county hasnt decided where to relocate the statue once its removed from the courthouse grounds.
The removal question is resolved, Leggett said. The only question now is where it should go.
Leggett said he didnt have an answer to the second question yet. He said the statue will be placed in storage if an appropriate location isnt found by the time its removed. He said there are a number of appropriate locations.

Ike Leggett is the tin horn dictator of Montgomery County, Maryland, and is trampling over all kinds of historic preservation laws to move this statue, which has sat at the original 19th century courthouse in the Rockville historic district since 1913. The site was captured by JEB Stuart early during the Gettysburg, Campaign, and has been the centerpiece of of the area's preservation efforts.
The dictator in question:

I got into a conversation many years ago, with a Marylander teacher (I was delivering pizza supplies) and we were home schoolers in Pa
His dripping distaste for anything Americanly free was impossible to break through
He believed the NEA, gumint public schools were the only way America could or would be saved from all the (1990's) evil

I live in SC, too bad they couldn’t move it here. 3 weeks ago it could have happened, now, not so sure. Talk about being ashamed of my country...and my state...

When will it have been enough for the rest of us to turn back and begin to fight these leeches? In Memphis the race of professional victims are trying to dig up Forrest, in Mississippi they are refusing to fly the state flag in cities ruled by that race, and this. When will it be enough? When they put the descendents of Confederates into concentration camps?
