 A Louisville Metro Council member may have hit on an idea to make her district safer. Amy Holton Stewart, D-25, spent $10,000 of her discretionary funds earlier this year to pay for overtime so Louisville Metro Police Department officers could increase patrols in her district.

 McAlister’s GRAND OPENING! Happy to have this investment on Dixie! We need more quality restaurants and economic development in our community. Councilman Cindi Fowler and I are working with Louisville Forward’s Economic Development team to attract more businesses and options from restaurants, youth recreation, retail and more. Looking forward to the next grand opening!
