Recycled talking points from Republican Ed Gillespie's gubernatorial campaign weren't enough to save legislation to make it easier for Virginia localities to decide the fate of their Confederate statues.
Early
Wednesday morning, a House of Delegates subcommittee overwhelmingly
voted down a series of bills to facilitate the removal or relocation of
Confederate monuments.
Because
another panel already voted down a similar bill in the Senate,
Wednesday's vote means that Virginia, a state steeped in Civil War
history that has more Confederate monuments than anywhere else in the
country, won't be getting rid of its memorials to the Lost Cause any
time soon.
