Thursday evening, Metro Council voted 24 to 1, to approve the 2020-2021 Capital and Operating Budgets for Metro Government for the coming Fiscal Year. The plan, possible in part because of an improving but still not strong revenue picture, was unanimously approved by the Budget Committee.
The budget invests tens of millions of resources in disadvantaged and disinvested neighborhoods, redirects some law enforcement funding not used for police salaries to proven models for addressing mental health, drug abuse, and homelessness, and funds strong civilian oversight of LMPD.

With all that is happening in our city at this time the District Six Office phone lines are extremely busy and our voicemail is constantly full. I encourage you to please reach out via email because your concerns are important to us and the residents of District Six are my priority. Phone lines are still open but to serve you best please try email. Thank you!
