City Leaders Transform Charlottesville's Parks into Dump Sites at Taxpayer Expense

Monday night, just a few blocks away from City Hall, and WHILE City Council was in session, the illegal tarp covering the Robert E. Lee monument in Charlottesville was removed...  for the SIXTH time. God bless the Patriots who continue to stand and defend the honor of Lee, Jackson, and the memory of all the gallant men who served under them.

From a FOIA request, we now know it cost Charlottesville taxpayers approx $1500 each time they re-tarp our monuments.  We can't help but wonder if this nonsense would continue if City Council members were forced to pay for this out of their own pockets...? This morning, the tarp was replaced and city workers erected a shoddy "fence" in both Lee and Jackson Parks, apparently in an attempt to prevent citizens from removing the illegal tarps. Before and after photos of Lee Park tell quite a story.  What once was a beautiful park... ...now looks like more like a dump site.
