State Panel Now Accepting Online Comments On Fate Of Jefferson Davis Statue

Kentucky Historical Society

A state panel has updated its website to take public comments about the Jefferson Davis statue in the Kentucky Capitol.

The Historic Properties Advisory Commission says its website includes a comment form for anyone wanting to offer input on the statues in the Capitol Rotunda. The form is available at http://historicproperties.ky.gov in the upper right-hand corner.

The state commission says it will take public comments until July 29. The panel plans to meet Aug. 5.
