Tax Preparation Appointments Available

My office is partnering with the Louisville Asset Building Coalition (LABC) to provide FREE tax preparation services again in 2018. The service is FREE if you earned $64,000 Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) or less in 2017 or if you qualify for the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC). Call the office today to see if you qualify and make your appointment! Appointments are available every Friday through the end of tax season between 9:15 a.m. – 3:00 p.m. at United Crescent Hill Ministries, 150 S. State Street, in Clifton. Please call the office at 574-3908 to make an appointment and please share this with anyone you think may be eligible. Click here to view brochure.

Do you instead file your own taxes? Through the LABC website there are two options to self-file online. The “Turbo Tax Freedom Edition” is available if you have $33,000 or less in income. The software has a well-designed interview process that guides you through the process of making decisions about your filing status, inputting your income and making decisions about deductions and tax credits for which you may qualify. The other option is “My Free Taxes”, which is available if you make $64,000 or less. This program is developed by H&R Block and uses an interview process.

Potholes – Help Get Them Filled!

Mayor Fischer is kicking off Louisville’s annual pothole blitz  and you can start reporting them now. Metro Public Works (MPW) Roads and Operations Division works year round patching potholes but we need your help getting them reported.  MPW encourages anyone who spots a pothole in Louisville to report it to MetroCall as quickly as possible. You need to give the location of the pothole in any communication and there are several ways to do it:

• Call 311 or 574-5000
• Email to metro.call@louisvilleky.gov
• Live Chat at www.louisvilleky.gov/metrocall
• Tweet @LouMetro311, OR
• Include #502pothole in any tweet

Whichever method you choose, make sure to be as specific with location information as you can. Don't assume someone else has reported it.

Potholes on interstate highways and ramps should be reported to the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet at 1-877-For-KYTC (367-5982).

Café LOUIE 2018

Meet your legislators at the Louisville Free Public Libraries in 2018. The purpose of Café LOUIE is to provide constituents and their elected representatives a chance to engage and “get-to-know” each other in an informal setting. 

From 9:00 am to 10:00 am each Saturday morning from January 20 through April 7, participants are offered refreshments and conversation.  Elected officials will be given a brief time for prepared remarks and to answer a few pre-selected questions submitted by attendees.  The focus of these meetings is engagement through personal conversations.

 Newburg Library Saturday March 31, 2018

LIHEAP

Money to help low income residents with their heating bills ran out sooner than usual this year. This year, the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program, or LIHEAP, gave $225 on average to more than 9,000 Louisville families. There was an especially high demand during the brutally cold winter in Louisville. The money pays for late heating bills for low-income residents and keeps service from being shut off.
