"No, that's not the case," Kenney said when I asked whether the statue would stay until after the mayoral election. "The issue is, first of all, we both agree that it needs to go. It is a symbol of a lot of bad things in our city's history, and people should not be forced to walk under it or gaze at it as they go in to pay their taxes or get a permit. The issue for us is, it is a very complicated issue in that how it was installed. It was bolted into the roof of the concourse. It's not just a matter of picking it up and moving it. It's 3,000 pounds, and it's going to cost a lot of money from the general fund to move it."
