The Wicomico County Council has received a petition to take down the plaque commemorating Confederate General John Henry Winder from downtown Salisbury.
But the council members appears to have brushed aside the controversy.
The Salisbury Daily Times caught up with council member Matt Holloway who said there were more pressing issues in the country like the economy.
Meanwhile, County Council President John Cannon told the paper that County Executive Bob Culver needed to take the lead on making a decision about the plaque.
But Culver then told the Daily Times that it was up to the Maryland Historical Trust, a state agency, to make a decision.
When contacting the Maryland Historical Trust the paper was told that it would consider relocating the plaque if requested by Wicomico County.
And, that it would do so in coordination with the State Highway Administration.
