    It was "quietly" remove because the city counsel really didn't want to do it, but had to at the governor's request.

  • colebarnes, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Who knows why he did it really.

    Perhaps to save face while being able to say "I wanted it removed" instead of "they don't like me anymore so they removed it."
