Left with little choice, Oklahoma state officials began making plans Tuesday to remove a Ten Commandments monument from the grounds of the state Capitol by Oct. 12.

A state committee on Tuesday told the state Office of Management and Enterprise Services to cart away the 6-foot-tall granite statue as ordered by an Oklahoma County judge after a ruling by the Oklahoma Supreme Court.

John Estus, a spokesman for the state management agency, said officials need to discuss security and logistics before the removal.

It's not clear where it will go, or what day it will depart.
