From WIS: – “…Gov. Nikki Haley is formulating a plan with State House leaders to remove the Confederate flag from the State House grounds.
Details are limited, but Haley is holding a news conference on Monday at 4 p.m., according to a release from the governor’s office.” —
House Speaker Jay Lucas in a statement released Monday morning said the 2000 compromise that removed the flag from atop the State House dome and raised it in front of the Confederate Memorial on Gervais Street was “ultimately solved by compromise.”
“Wednesday’s unspeakable tragedy has reignited a discussion on this sensitive issue that holds a long and complicated history in the Palmetto State,” Lucas said. “Moving South Carolina forward from this terrible tragedy requires a swift resolution of this issue.”
