Dear Neighbors,
I’d like to take a moment to introduce myself if I haven’t met you yet. I’m Jeff Hudson and am your new Councilman for District 23. I’ve lived in the District for nearly 60 years and an alumnus of Fern Creek High School. I graduated from the University of Louisville with a Master of Engineering and Indiana University with a Master of Public Affairs. I was a member of Highview Baptist Church for over 50 years and am currently helping to plant a Church in J-town.
Professionally, I was employed as a Mechanical Engineer/Program Manager with GE Appliances for over 25 years. Prior to that I was the Innovation and Special Projects Program Executive Officer for Naval Special Warfare Development Group (DEVGRU) and the US Joint Special Operation Command.
In talking with many of you, two themes often come up as a concern: Public Safety and Infrastructure. I have some ideas on how to make improvements in both areas and would love to hear your thoughts on these topics or any other concerns you may have.
In my spare time I enjoy training Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Long Distance Mountain Hiking and Road Cycling.
I’m excited to bring my problem-solving experience as an Engineer, and personal history/knowledge of the District to Metro Council. I look forward to working with you.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions, concerns or comments by calling 574-1123 or emailing me at Jeff.Hudson@louisvilleky.gov.
Sincerely,
Councilman Jeff Hudson

1. A consumer reported that while trying to sell an item, they were contacted by a potential “buyer” who offered to pay for the item by Zelle, but first the consumer would be required to set up a Zelle business account. This is a common scam on Facebook Marketplace. Zelle and other payment apps do not require you to set up a business account to complete a transaction. |
- A consumer reported an employment scam to BBB. The consumer applied for a transcriptionist position, and after a quick interview process was informed she would be sent a check to purchase supplies. She contacted her bank, who verified the check was fraudulent. Beware of any “job opportunities” where the interview process seems almost too easy and the employer sends you a check to purchase supplies. You can also look up reviews on a company at bbb.org before applying or interviewing.
- Consumers continue to report scam callers claiming to represent LG&E. The callers state that the consumer’s service will be shut off unless a past due invoice is paid. As a reminder, LG&E will never call you and demand payment over the phone. When in doubt, contact LG&E directly to check the status of your account.
- Consumers continue to report scam Amazon phone calls to BBB. As a reminder, Amazon will not call to alert you of a large pending charge on your account. When in doubt, log in and check your Amazon and bank or credit card accounts. Do not give anyone access to your account information over the phone!
- A consumer reported receiving a scam phone call claiming to be from PNC Bank. If you receive an unsolicited phone call from someone claiming to represent your bank, hang up and contact your bank directly. Do not give out any financial information over the phone!
- A consumer reported to BBB that they received a voicemail alerting them that legal action was being taken against them. This is a common scam that tries to scare victims into thinking they will face legal consequences if they do not pay large fines. Don’t fall for it!
- A consumer attempting to sell an item on Facebook marketplace was contacted by a scammer who wanted the consumer’s phone number. BBB warns consumers not to fall for this scam. Once the scammer has your phone number, they can set up a Google Voice number linked to your phone number, allowing them to conceal their identity for future scams and/or set up new accounts in your name.
- A consumer reported to BBB that they were almost the victim of a medical billing scam after receiving fake invoices. If you receive an unexpected invoice, contact your insurance company and medical provider directly to verify its authenticity.
- A consumer reported an online shopping scam to BBB after attempting to purchase a rare NBA jersey, which they never received. BBB reminds consumers to check bbb.org for reviews and reports on companies before making online purchases, use a secure method of payment, and don’t fall for “deals” that are too good to be true.
- A consumer reported a delivery scam to BBB. They received a message that a package could not be delivered until they paid a re-delivery fee. They later noticed their credit card was used for unauthorized charges. BBB warns consumers not to respond to suspicious messages like this.
Why adopt a shelter pet
Louisville Metro Animal Services is committed to saving more lives by making every effort to find homes for our adoptable pets. When you adopt from LMAS, you will be rescuing a homeless pet from your community. LMAS has found homes for thousands of pets through free and donation-based adoption programs.
LMAS adoptions are far less expensive than purchasing a pet from a breeder or other animal organizations. Our adoption package is worth at least $500 in savings. Spay/neuter surgery, microchip and up-to-date vaccinations are always included.
Where to adopt
Choose from the largest selection of adoptable pets in the region. Meet our adoptable pets at Animal House Adoption Center, located at 3516 Newburg Road. Open from 12 p.m. to 6 p.m. daily and Fridays until 7 p.m. – no appointment required
You can also visit one of our satellite locations: PetSmart (Outer Loop) and Lucky Cat Cafe & Lounge. LMAS also offers pet adoptions at community events throughout the year.
