the order would have been dissolved, effectively ending the longstanding suit.
Smith s decision Monday to delay his ruling on Logan s argument came shortly after McChesney refused a settlement from the city in recent weeks in which LCG offered to give the statue to the UDC if the Daughters would just provide a location to move it to.
McChesney rejected the offer and fired her attorney J.M. Wooderson after he insisted she take the settlement, saying Monday in court that the offer didn t protect the monument to her desired standard.
What happened to the Mouton Statue?:Nobody knows.
The move was chided as a delay tactic by Logan and Assistant City-Parish Attorney Larry Marino, as well as attorney Jerome Moroux, who represents a group of citizens who launched the lawsuit to lift the 1980 court order in 2019.
LCG made that request in a memorandum filed in 15th Judicial District Court last month.
The memo says in May 1980, then-UDC chairwoman Betty Dugal admitted in group meeting minutes that her group knew it had no legal standing to challenge the city’s decision to move the Mouton Statue from the old city hall at the intersection of Lee Avenue and Jefferson Street to the current city hall at the corner of West University Avenue and St. Landry Street. According to those minutes, the group admitted to seeking a 10-day injunction to stop the move. That 10-day time frame covered the end of Mayor Kenny Bowen’s term in office and the start of Mayor Dud Lastrapes’s term.
