The controversy over a Confederate monument in Madison County isn't going away, and now a local group is raising money to try and drum up support for the statue's removal and pay the fine that would be incurred for its removal.
Governor Kay Ivey signed a bill last month that prevents any monument more than 40 years old from being moved. Under the law, any group that moves a monument could face a fine of up to $25,000.
