Florence Mayor Steve Holt

Of thesuperspeedway.

For days, protestors in laurerdale county have been trying to get the city of florence and laudersale county officials to remove a confederate statue outside the courthouse.

And they say they will be out demonstrating again today.

So what's the city's response?

Joining us now live via zoom is florence mayor steve holt.

Mayor holt thanks for joining us.

Pause a few weeks ago, the county commission wouldn't even allow this issue to become an item on the agenda.

They are meeting again today, but we understand the issue is not on the agenda.

Should it be?

Will the city act?

Madison commission is in the midst of seeking a waiver from the state committee on historic structures to move the statue.

Is that something you are open to?

What's next for this issue?

Discussions with organizers?

Cyber attack a few weeks ago.

Ransomware attack?

Did the city have to pay?

Services affected?

Coronavirus.

Talk of mandating wearing masks?

Should people be regulated to wear masks to slow the spread?

Florence mayor steve holt.
