How much would you be willing to pay to maintain a statue inspired by, promoted by, and funded by the Klu Klux Klan? The vast majority of these statues were put up between 1890 and 1920, the heyday of the Klan, and they were very proud of the contribution they made to Jim Crow. Do you approve of such things on government property or do you think we don't need that kind of hate/propaganda on publicly owned land?

"Statues on public property are maintained by tax dollars along with everything else on the property."
Since you expressed concern about tax dollars being spent to maintain statues on public property does that include all statues of every kind? That's all I'm asking. Set aside who was a slave holder or if MLK opposed gays. That's not the point I'm making or the question I'm asking.
