RICHMOND, Va. — Another lawsuit has been filed by a group of Richmond residents over Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam’s plan to remove a statue of Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee.
Attorney Patrick McSweeney filed the complaint Tuesday on behalf of five plaintiffs, four of whom are property owners in the vicinity of the statue.
One is identified as the trustee of a property owner.
The lawsuit is similar to previous ones McSweeney has filed and then dropped.
It has at least one of the same plaintiffs, Monument Avenue resident Helen Marie Taylor, who had previously been joined by anonymous plaintiffs.
