Louisville’s budget is being decided right now and they’re betting you’re not paying attention.

The Affordable Housing Trust Fund is getting cut by $2.5 million.
They’re giving $6 million to a new LMPD training center.
Public input was clear: fund housing, transit, and animal services.

Curious how 's “Community Commitment” stacks up to what local organizers requested?

Spoiler: While the "Community Commitment" is nearly identical to the DOJ’s Consent Decree, it is quite different from the People's Consent Decree.

What does real reform look like to you?

P.S.: The LMPD Budget Hearing is TODAY at 3:30PM. Go to sixthandjeff.com to see how to watch!
