is voting on whether to remove two confederate monuments off public grounds where we find stephanie goskahead of that vote tonight. steph? >> reporter: hey, hallie, to give you a sense of the feeling here in lexington right now, all you need to know is this. police chief in lexington reached out to the police chief in charlottesville to talk about what he could potentially expect on the streets here in lexington. his fight is over two statues that in this park behind me. one is john hunt morgan, a confederate general. the other is john c. brecken ridge, the last confederate secretary of war. there has been a movement in this city to remove these statues for a while. really since the shooting in charleston, south carolina. however over the weekend you have the mayor in this city, jim gray, push that process forward. so there was a vote, essentially a vote to have a vote. tonight they meet again to vote. here is the interesting thing about lexington. we saw those pictures of baltimore where statues were spirited away in the middle of the night, kind of in secret. that can't happen in kentu
