The project is focused on improving safety and preventing unplanned closures while adding decades of life to these structures. At least six bridges in the project area will be replaced or rehabilitated during the next three years.

I’m recovering from shoulder surgery, but I still made it to all of my committee meetings this week! In fact, I attended all four of my assigned committees as well as Public Safety, because I had a piece of legislation pending. We are allowed to request excused absences (unlike our kids in school, we can request as many as we like and we don’t have to have a signed doctor’s note or even a good reason) but it was important to me to be in attendance because there were several important pieces of business that needed the representation of District 6.
On Tuesday, I attended the Government Oversight/Audit & Appointments Committee virtually, because this was the day of my surgery. I couldn’t miss it, however, because Ed Harness’ reappointment to the Office of Inspector General was before the committee. It’s no secret that I am strongly in favor of Inspector General Harness’ reappointment due to the trust he has built in our community. People in Louisville know that Inspector Harness will represent the people’s interests and won’t be a rubberstamp for LMPD in their internal investigations. Sometimes that means there will be some friction with LMPD or the Mayor’s administration, but it’s clear that the people of our city understand that and have been loud and clear that they support this reappointment.
Unfortunately, not all of my colleagues have heard that message. The Minority Caucus members on the committee voted in lockstep and so the reappointment will go before the full Louisville Metro Council with a 5-4 negative recommendation. One issue was that a member of the Majority Caucus missed the vote after taking a phone call and not realizing the vote would be called so quickly; hopefully, we’ll be at full strength next Thursday and united in seeking this reappointment.
Wednesday I was in person, and in addition to my regular seat on the Ad Hoc Committee on the Efficiency of Boards and Commissions, I was in attendance for Public Safety to speak to my proposed amendment to the mask ban ordinance clarifying that there is no exception to law enforcement officers of any kind. Unfortunately, the committee concluded business after a special discussion with Group Violence Intervention and debate on one item of legislation (an ordinance regulating massage parlors amid concerns of human trafficking, which I think is well-intentioned but requires serious amendment to protect practitioners and to make sure that we’re not interfering with people seeking legitimate medical care). The Chair of Public Safety, Councilman Dan Seum (R-13) cancelled the next scheduled meeting of the committee because he would not be in attendance, but stated that my item would be heard at a special meeting of the committee on December 1st.
Finally, yesterday I had two regular committee meetings. The first was Parks and Sustainability, where I spoke to a resolution I’ve introduced asking area businesses, the Waste Management District Board, and the Kentucky Cabinet for Energy and Environment, Division of Waste Management to consider ways to reduce or eliminate the use of single use plastic bags in Louisville. This was, like the mask ban amendment, a piece of legislation that had been asked for by constituents. It went to the council on a tie vote, also party line. I look forward to discussing with the other representatives why, even though we (unfortunately) don’t have the legal authority to unilaterally reduce or eliminate single use plastic bags in our city, that we consider the compelling case for us to take this up for the public good.
Finally, the Budget Committee last night had been set for several contentious pieces of legislation. The first were dueling proposals on what to do with over $5 million in funds previously appropriated to the Saint Mary & Elizabeth birth center in the South End. I was a co-sponsor of Councilwoman Jennifer Chappell’s (D-15) proposal to fund new projects in the South End and birth justice programs city-wide over Kevin Kramer’s (R-11) to send the money to cover capital costs and economic development money for private industry. Neither item was heard, as the Chair (Kevin Kramer) held both items pending promises of information on the mid-year budget adjustment from the Mayor.
Also held was the revived Industrial Revenue Bond ordinance for Churchill Downs. It’s no secret that I oppose giving away our public resources for private gain. In this case, Churchill Downs is in a much better financial position than they were decades ago when this giveaway first happened. In addition, Jefferson County Public Schools are in a well-publicized financial crisis. I cannot accept the idea that we should be taking tax money away from public education in order to secure shareholders' bottomlines. Whenever this item is called, I will be standing with our children, parents and teachers in voting ‘no.’
Solidarity, Councilman JP Lyninger
