Mayor Fischer explained that "the decision came after careful consideration by city leaders and in accordance with the guidance in the 2018 Public Art and Monuments Advisory Committee Report."
The removal of the statue of King Louis XVI is another example of the hundreds of statues that local governments, organizations, and Churches are refusing to defend and allow the growing marxist-cancel culture to eliminate.
