The statue was removed properly, by the state and town government, by order of Governor Northrom (I might have spelled that wrong). It was dismantled so that it could fit on flatbed trucks and moved off the premises. It'll be properly restored, cleaned, and stored, until it's placed in a more suitable location. Hopefully a museum where its history and significance can be better appreciated and understood.
