There was a lot involved in the decision by the LeFlore County Commission to reverse itself Monday on its April 1 decision to allow the Ten Commandments monument, pushed by VFW Post 63 member Charlie Horsley, to be placed on the county courthouse lawn.
Some of the determining factors were based on research done by District 2 Commissioner Lance Smith since that April 1 meeting. He discovered that the Haskell County monument depicting the Ten Commandments had, in fact, been moved from county property to Chamber of Commerce property in Stigler. He was told otherwise on April 1.
