Confederate monument removal proposal exceeds Caddo Commission's budget


SHREVEPORT, La. – The Caddo Parish Commission is back to step one in finding someone to relocate the Confederate monument from the front of the Caddo Parish Courthouse.
The commission only received one proposal to move it to its new home on a private battlefield in south DeSoto Parish. But the bid of almost $2 million far exceeded the $500,000 budgeted by the commission.
Commission spokeswoman Krystle Beauchamp said the proposal was rejected since it was “significantly” over the budget. Parish Administrator Woodrow Wilson is expected to give an update to commissioners at their work session Monday.
Trey Hauser, owner of Ark-La-Tex Monument Co. LLC submitted the lone proposal. Hauser said his 31 years of experience qualifies him for the task. He pledged to take great care in dismantling, reconstruction and relocating the monument. ....
