Monday: Birmingham Alabama removed confederate statues.
Tuesday: Alabama Attorney General sues Birmingham for removing the confederate statues.
What remedy does the Alabama Attorney General want from Birmingham for the alleged violation of the Alabama Memorial Preservation Act?
- $25,000 fine
Does this sound like deja vu? Yes, a similar statue fight went to the Alabama Supreme Court in 2017.
The Mayor said the fine is cheaper than the ongoing risks to the city from the demonstrations. A group of pastors has raised $60,000 to pay the fine.
