It's on the base. The 'saying' was written by the winner of a contest created to fund the building of the base. (otherwise the copper idol would have been scrapped)

This will probably wind up in a bus war with other cities (it's happened before)

I believe New Jersey won the lengthy legal battle with New York and claims the island the Statue of Liberty is based on as its own.

NYC has plenty of its own problems, sending them to any other city doesn’t seem fair, but the SoL was to reflect the entire United States, not just the city in whose harbor she resides.
