POLICE ARE REVIEWING SURVEILLANCE NOW, AND ANY WITNESS VIDEOS OF THE SHOOTING. HERE AT HOME, MAYOR CRAIG GREENBERG IS PROPOSING A NEARLY BILLION DOLLAR BUDGET FOR NEXT YEAR, WITH MAJOR INVESTMENTS IN HOUSING, PUBLIC SAFETY AND COMMUNITY PROGRAMS. WLKY DEANDRIA TURNER JOINS US LIVE DOWNTOWN WITH A BREAKDOWN OF HIS PLAN. DEANDRIA TURNER. HI, JENNIFER AND RICK, ONE OF THE BIGGEST TAKEAWAYS FROM THIS IS THAT HE SAYS THAT HE WILL NOT HAVE TO RAISE TAXES AGAIN. HE HASN’T RAISED TAXES SINCE HE TOOK OFFICE. AND HE SAYS THIS IS ALL BECAUSE HE JUST WANTS TO MAKE SURE THE COMMUNITY IS DOING WHAT IT NEEDS TO DO AND HAS THE RESOURCES THEY NEED. HERE’S A LITTLE BIT OF THAT BREAKDOWN. HOUSING BASIC NEEDS ARE A MAJOR FOCUS. HE HOPES TO INVEST IN MORE THAN $20 MILLION IN AFFORDABLE HOUSING, ON TOP OF THE $40 MILLION ALREADY SPENT. THERE’S ALSO $5 MILLION PROPOSED FOR A NEW DARE TO CARE HUNGER RELIEF CENTER IN WEST LOUISVILLE, AND $500,000 TO RESTORE THE SENIOR MEAL PROGRAMS AFTER FEDERAL FUNDING RAN OUT. WHEN IT COMES TO PUBLIC SAFETY, LMPD’S BUDGET WOULD INCREASE TO ABOUT $260 MILLION. FUNDING THREE RECRUIT CLASSES PLUS NEW TECHNOLOGY LIKE STAR CHASE AND $5 MILLION TO SUPPORT THE FIRST RESPONDERS TRAINING FACILITY, WHICH ALSO INCLUDES A DRIVING TRACK. HE ALSO WANTS TO SEE CONTINUED INVESTMENTS IN PARKS AND COMMUNITY SPACES, INCLUDING AN ALREADY 25% INCREASE IN PARKS SPENDING. A NEW GYM IN THE NEWBURGH COMMUNITY CENTER AND FUNDING TO FULLY REOPEN THE SUN VALLEY POOL AND INSIDE CITY GOVERNMENT. THE MAYOR IS PROPOSING TO ELIMINATE 85 MOSTLY VACANT POSITIONS WHILE ADDING 31 NEW ONES, MOST OF THEM IN THE LIBRARIES. NOW, ONE OF THE BIGGEST CHALLENGES THEY FACE THIS YEAR THAT HAS IMPACTED THE BUDGET IS A $13 MILLION INCREASE IN HEALTH CARE COSTS FOR CITY EMPLOYEES. JUST TO KEEP THE COVERAGE THE SAME, AND RISING COSTS IN GENERAL. BUT OVERALL, THE MAYOR SAYS THIS BUDGET FOCUSES ON GROWING THE CITY WHILE FILLING GAPS LEFT BY CUTS IN THE FEDERAL FUNDING. NOW, THE BUDGET I’M PROPOSING TODAY WAS NOT PREPARED IN A VACUUM. THERE’S A LOT OF UNCERTAINTY RIGHT NOW. RISING COSTS, DIVISION CHALLENGES. FAMILIES FEEL EVERY DAY. WE FEEL IT IN THIS BUDGET. ALSO. HOWEVER, HERE IN LOUISVILLE, WE’RE NOT LETTING THAT UNCERTAINTY STOP US FROM DOING WHAT MATTERS. AND ANOTHER THING HE REALLY WANTS TO INVEST IN CONTINUING TO INVEST IN IS HIS THRIVE BY FIVE PROGRAM. TO HAVE UNIVERSAL, AFFORDABLE, AND FREE PRE-K FOR STUDENTS HERE IN THE CITY. AND AGAIN, THE CITY COUNCIL, THEY HAVE UNTIL THE LAST DAY OF
