Louisville Ballot Initiative to Challenge Revitatization Authority

Louisville's Revitalization Commission opponents have filed for a ballot initiative this fall to rescind the authority granted to the Commission last December and put it in the hands of the City Council. John Leary, a former Louisville councilman, and Louisville resident Don Atwood filed the petition on behalf of the citizens' group PreserveLouisville.org.

We've commented on that before here and here.

They're asking for more direct accountability to the way the City will handle millions of TIF funds. Supporters argue the oversight is already built in and having Council involvement will scare off investors/developers.
