Have no idea. What matters is if it’s on public property or not.
If so, Who was it bothering? It’s a gentle remembrance of those who lost their lives. Kind of a silly to have an issue with it.
Put it on private property. Not hard to do.

A "Black History Matters" crosswalk is no more political advocacy then hanging a painting of Robert E Lee in a confederate uniform at West Point or covertly renaming military bases after disgraced confederate generals.
The crosswalk wasn’t a Marxist BLM one, it a a Pride/Alphabet people one.
One that was removed was "Black History Matters".

Still no more political advocacy then the painting of Lee or covertly renaming military bases.

Shouldn't local governments be able to make these decisions without state or federal governments trying to force their own political advocacy opinions down their throats?

BDK is now an advocate for big government.

I don't know and if they weren't, you'd just look for other excuses to justify big government because they're doing things that you approve of.

Neither is allowing it to remain to honor the victims.

Just like you expected local red govts to enforce mostly big blue state govt anti 2A measures, then bitched when local red county sheriffs refused to do so. Oregon as I recall was one of several states where that occurred in recent years along with going off memory CA, WA, IL, MI, etc.

Being dumb enough to actually defend Fox as accurate should disqualify you from office faster than having two first names.

One thing the state of Florida is doing is asking these cities/counties what the heck are they doing with all the property tax money…. Good
