The Burnet County Commissioners want to pay to remove the Wallace Riddell Monumet from it's current location since being place in 1980. They want to move it to the Old Jail on the Square. ( I updated this cause others wanted to act like I stated they were going to put it in a storage with tarp over it.)They are willing to spend money to do this , and they claim they do not have the money to fix the county roads. Speak up and be heard. Roads before Monument move. The price is 3765.00 the funds will come out of to Tourism or Allocated Fun. Why Not fix Fort Chroghan in Burnet as the room that holds many useful old History papers smell very bad. I am sure that would be a great use of this money.

It would be in the perfect place at the old jail as it is turned into a museum. That being said I think that private donations or grant money should be used for relocating it. The county has plenty of other needs that they can take care of.
It needs to stay where it is
What is the reason for the removal it should stay
Fix the roads . let the monument stand!
The streets are horrible and need fixing way before a monument gets removed.
The monument to Wallace Riddell needs to stay at the courthouse!
LEAVE it Be and use the funds for better things

First stated by ( Mr Oakley) that the Family requested it. Now it is cause they plan on making a museum in the old jail.
