In case you missed it, Districts 1-7 had a virtual budget town hall last week. Since then the archived video on Facebook has been viewed over a thousand times, but at most during the meeting we had no more than about 30 people viewing. It looked like District 4 had more engaged viewers than other districts but considering our districts collectively represent over 180,000 Louisvillians, a thousand viewers is extremely low for engagement.
Louisville Metro Council is making decisions about our city all year round. I strongly encourage you to engage with us as you can, when you can, and how you can. We're still working on our television, radio, and print alerts but welcome any input about how to bring people closer to government. With that being, we hope to see as many of you as possible for our first District 4 Monthly Town Hall. If you want to share with your neighbors please use the flier here. You can also send them the call-in info below or they can get it from our website on the flier.
