I wonder how much this whole song and dance adds up to?: the cost of the original decision that they want the statue, making the statue, installing the statue, then funding the committee that decides to remove the statue, the city deciding to remove the statue, physically removing and storing the statue, figuring what to do with the statue, dealing with the media kerfuffle, then transporting and re installing the statue. Factor in gov't efficiency, adjust for inflation and I'd guess the ballpark is $50-100k.
