The Louisville Revitalization Commission is going to be facing a public vote of confidence this November.
John Leary, a former Louisville Council member and Don Atwood, a member of the Louisville Cultural Council have championed a petition drive and submitted 900 signatures to the City Clerk this past week. They are fed up with the failure of the City Council to make the LRC more accountable to voters.
Usually redevelopment Boards such as this are presumed trustworthy based on the judgment of Councils who appoint the members. Many Louisville residents appear unwilling to leave the nearly $80 million in predicted funding the LRC would handle in the hands of this appointed body.

Is this type of demand paranoia? Is it about anti-development or strict oversight?
