I want to welcome our new police Chief Ericka Shields. She was unanimously selected by the committee and Mayor Fischer accepted that top recommendation. I look forward to meeting her and working together to improve LMPD and the relationship they have with our citizens.

The Mayor, for the second year in a row, is underfunding libraries. I am working with a bipartisan group to restore this funding as Metro Council did last year. He is doing this prior to Metro Council finishing our work on the budget. Unnecessary.
NEW: A branch of the Louisville Free Public Library that had been on the chopping block in Mayor Fischer's budget proposal will close this weekend, weeks ahead of lawmakers' vote on the budget: courier-journal.com/story/ne…

We're live NOW talking about @louisvillemayor's proposed insurance premium tax hike and budget proposal. In a pre-recorded interview, Fischer says they chose this tax because there are few revenue options for Louisville.

We had to go 5 spots down the line of succession but as @LMCRep Vice Chair, I got a small taste of proceeding over Council Meeting tonight.

Perfect example of how the Mayor is using tax pay or funded departments to push his political agenda.
The state pension crisis could delay pothole repairs in Louisville. Tell your Metro Council representative what you think.

An insurance agent group wrote a letter to @louisvillemayor, telling him his tax hike proposal is unfair: bit.ly/2SbRixJ | @ChadKMills

I have proven that we can cut the budget without touching Libraries, LMPD, Fire or any other critical services. The Mayors claims about closing libraries are scare tactics.
Some @LFPL branches — including Highlands-Shelby Park Library — may close because of the state pension-driven budget crisis. Tell Council to say YES to the revenue plan. louisvilleky.gov/budgetFY192…
