However, now that I think about it, are firemen typically certified to run a crane?
That's right, you don't have to be certified to operate a crane........yet.

How can a mayor & council make a decision such as this on their own without the voice of the people?? That statue has value & they should be allowed to destroy 'the people's money'??
If I had any hair, I would pull it out...wow.

They should have auctioned it off and had winner bidder responsible for removal. Saved money and statue would go somewhere good (Maybe).
They are probably going to sell it for scrap.

Mitch Landrieu is very tight with the Clintons and was promised a high ranking job in Washington if Hillary would have won the POTUS election. He's a lame duck Mayor and is going out with a bang doing whatever he wants to do.
He DGAF about anything or anybody as evident by his actions. He's doing exactly what Obama and Jindal did during their final few months

I'm sure these workers are going to stay as long as they will let them. Mucho OT.

Originally posted by Ironman View PostNo, they aren't. BTW, crane certification is not required as of yet. OSHA has extended the crane certification compliance out to November 10, 2017.

Another thing regarding public transportation in the city. The Street car line runs from Carrollton to St Charles Ave around Lee Circle to the French Qtr
The route is temporarily interrupted since they had to remove and take down several electrical lines at Lee Circle. Not good if you're wanting to ride the streetcar from its origin to final destination .... such a cluster
My guess is the appointed firemen will go back to the drawing board , modify their plans for statue removal, and start back up at 5am
Could be a major problem as the next 2-3 days call for rain and gusty winds
