Kay Ivey About Attempted Destruction of the 1905 Monument: (silence)


Here's the latest statement from Ivey:


"...we will not allow our cities to become a target for those, especially from other states, who choose to use violence and destruction to make their point.  What I saw happen last night in Birmingham was unbecoming of all those who have worked to make Birmingham the great city it is.  Going forward, this cannot be tolerated. State assets are available to any local government that makes the request. We will show respect to ourselves and to each other through this process.”
 Complete statement HERE.

     Not a word about the confederate monument in Linn park, which she used the power of her office to keep in place in the majority black city of Birmingham. She even used her defense of it as a bragging point in an election ad. 

PLUS: "However, we will not allow our cities to become a target for those, especially from other states, who choose to use violence and destruction to make their point."

What a bizarre distinction to make! 
Will she have special courts and jails for out-of-state residents?

From the White House in a call with the Governors:
You have to dominate," the president said. "If you don't dominate, you're wasting your time."
       How will Ivey dominate here in Alabama?
     I don't know if Ivey was on the call with the president...and they press office did not immediately return my call asking if she did take part.   
     While local government Public Information people have been most cooperative in getting information for me, the Governor apparently does not recognize my work on this 13+ year old website as legitimate media. They ignore my requests.
     WBRC in Birmingham reported Ivey would be on the call.
