After years of public debate, the controversial statue of John B. Castleman was removed by Louisville city officials.
and several individuals last year over the city's decision to remove the statue, said Monday that with the removal, Fischer's administration"has shown it has no regard for the requirements of the judicial system."
"Louisville Metro has no right to remove the Castleman statue until all court processes are exhausted." "People are demanding action and not just words," Coan said of recent protests."And this is a silent, quiet act that speaks volumes, and we need to see a lot more things like this going forward for a long time."
Nick Morris, a small business owner who has lived in the neighborhood for more than 30 years, said he was"very upset and disappointed that this happened."
