This section begins with a collection of correspondence to various Calloway County government officials as well as remarks made before the Calloway County Fiscal Court in 2020, which the Sentinel obtained from County Judge-Executive Kenny Imes' office.
Dear Judge Imes:
As the leader of a large private employer in Calloway County, I am writing to join with others in asking you to remove the Confederate monument with the statue of Robert E. Lee from the county courthouse grounds. This monument is commemorating and venerating individuals who took up arms to perpetuate the institution of slavery.
With over a thousand team members located in our Murray facility, we are proud of the role we've played in serving and enriching this community. Values are an important part of our organization, and one of those that is core to us is our dedication to diversity and equality. This request is in keeping with those values.
Respectfully Submitted,
Timothy Yaggi
President and CEO of Pella Corporation
