Louisville Deflects Accountability

The majority of Louisville's City Council rejected their fellow Councilor Bob Muckle's Resolution on Tuesday night meant to add some more clarity to the way in which a huge Urban Renewal District would be managed. (My earlier posts and your comments are here.) Resolution 59 would have changed the oversight of the District to the City Council pending a citizen vote, and would have required more detailed financial analysis and projections than the majority of the Council found necessary.

On a lighter but citizen-friendly note, the Resolution would require the District's meeting to be held in the evening so more people could attend. Read more in the Daily Camera article.

Perhaps the Resolution's eight requirements suffered from and "all or nothing" mandate. But the gist of the Resolution would have added more accountability to the District.

Read the Resolution's language here.
