The plan to move a Confederate statue to Lake County and install it in the former headquarters of the infamous Sheriff Willis McCall is still moving forward. However, the forum for debate is shifting from the County Commission to the towns and cities of Lake County. Tomorrow (Wednesday), the issue lands in Tavares.
From the August 14 Daily Commercial:
“On Wednesday, (Rev.) Watkins will ask Tavares City Council members to pass a resolution in opposition to the statue being placed at the Lake County History Museum, just a few blocks from City Hall. He will also be asking that the resolution be forwarded to the Lake County Historical Society Board, which is bringing the statue here.”
