THEY HOPE TO SEE I JUST WONDER
WHY THEY’RE JUST NOW STARTING TO
PAY ATTENTION DEMOCRATIC SENATE
MINORITY LEADER, MORGAN MCGARVEY
SAYS, HE WAS SURPRISED TO HEAR
REPUBLICAN STATE LAWMAKERS
SUDDEN INTEREST IN LOUISVILLE.
WE HAVE BEEN ASKING FOR HELP FOR
YEARS, AND NOW THAT IT’S SEEN IN
CERTAIN PLACES PEOPLE ARE PAYING
ATTENTION ON TUESDAY.
THE REPUBLICAN CAUCUS CRITICIZED
LOUISVILLE.

VIOLENT CRIME IN THE CITY MANY

UP FOR DECADES WE HAVE BEEN
ASKING FOR REFORMS IN SO MANY
AREAS FOR LOUISVILLE AND FROM
ECONOMIC TO EDUCATION TO
INFRASTRUCTURE TO RACIAL JUSTICE

LOUISVILLE BETTER CITY FOR
EVERYBODY TO LIVE IN I’M VERY

I HOPE THAT THIS LEADS TO REAL
BIPARTISAN EFFORTS AT CRIMINAL

REFORM AT THINGS THAT WILL HELP
ALL OF OUR COMMUNITIES IN
LOUISVILLE, PARTICULARLY THE
AREAS OF THE WEST END AND PLACES
THAT HAVE ASKED FOR SO LONG
