We are serious about sustainability and our environment. We teamed up with volunteers and neighbors along with Brightside to plant trees in Smoketown.
A few months later, we noticed some of the trees were beginning to lean and needed a little lovin'. One phone call, and Brightside came to the rescue.
When we take care of our trees, they take care of us. More trees means better air quality and a safer community.

The approved operating budget ordinance can be found here - https://louisvilleky.gov/government/metro-council/services/most-requested-ordinances
The Mayor presented his budget plan, the Community responded, and we rolled up our sleeves doing the work we were elected to do. No one got everything they wanted and not everything got funded. I voted for the budget because it maintained a focus on public safety by putting LMPD trained Officers on the street sooner than expected and we continued to fund affordable housing in addition to the $41 million provided during the past four years. We responded to the many concerns related to homelessness by providing $1 million for sheltering and services. This will help provide for pets, partners and possessions in homeless circumstances. Complex challenges require common sense solutions and it is our responsibility to provide safer neighborhoods and better services for all. This includes basic needs for food, clothing and shelter.
And yes, we fought for swimming pools and libraries to make sure no one gets left behind. Not our children, not our seniors, not anyone.
There’s room for everyone to help our community be as good as we say it is. We need businesses, healthcare, education, nonprofit and interfaith communities to reimagine their roles and create common sense solutions. Together – we hold the answer. We can do this, YES we can!
Councilwoman Barbara Sexton Smith
