Little Rock citizens don't want Veterans Center because "beautiful heritage is at stake"???

Does this make sense to you? Why is it people always say they love veterans but love them more when they are out of sight? Their "beautiful heritage" looks a bit tarnished now.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (KTHV) -- The Little Rock City council will vote on an ordinance tomorrow, which could determine the fate of a new Veterans Affairs center.

The VA has plans to move into the old Cook Jeep dealership on Main Street. If the city amends an ordinance, the VA would have to apply for a permit.
