@billwagers1 That is my point. Tragedy does not mean liability.

@CMPiagentini This is definitely a tragedy, however, the city should not be responsible for her negligence. Negligence she was hidden and asleep
English
This is a horrible, horrible tragedy and I pray for the soul of Ms. Adams. Question though, if the family can sue the city, can the city counter sue the family for neglect? What did they not do which could have prevented this from happening?

@pamemerson13 I am not sure you know the circumstances here. For example, by that explanation I could sue the city if a city truck hit me while I was sleeping in the middle of the street and under cover.
English
@CMPiagentini My layperson answer: Ms. Adams has a right to be on public property with out being harmed. Family council will have many more.
English
@CMPiagentini @Boomerseven The fact that Jefferson, Pike, McCracken, Owsley, Warren, Hart, and Greenup are all limited to the same 3 tools to try and fund the legally mandated services is ludicrous.
English
@treswatson @Boomerseven Agreed. I am about to be very public about the need for local tax reform. If the state allowed Jeff County a 1% sales tax we could eliminate our property tax and start reducing our Occupational tax immediately.
English
@CMPiagentini @Boomerseven People don't like taxes. Problem is, counties only have three options, property, insurance, and payroll taxes. And the general public doesn't understand the complex nature of local jail funding
English
@treswatson @Boomerseven So the people don’t want to pay for jails? Where do they want to put the criminals? Seriously interested in this. This isn’t random.
English
@Boomerseven @CMPiagentini In the rural counties, I have to assume property taxes to pay for jails is a big driver.
English
@smarkreilly Serious follow up. If I am driving west on 64 or 71 and am passing through, I would need to get off and take local roads to get back on 64 in the west end? Does the highway just break at that point?
English
@CMPiagentini Thanks for asking. The vast majority of interstate traffic would follow the reroute already in place. Local access ramps for downtown world be near Slugger feild.

Election for Mayor: Which candidate has a bold vision to revitalize Louisville? Who has the bravery to reconnect West Louisville and eliminate the 9th Street divide? Who can restore our waterfront? Who can protect children and seniors from extreme pollution?

Because most of the new ideas in academics are actually making kids dumber. I have seen it myself and it isn’t only public schools also. Eg. If a kid can’t read or do math at grade level, double up those subjects until they can.

A new report released Wednesday suggests students in U.S. schools are performing worse than their peers a decade ago, and it isn't entirely due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. abcnews.link/V6rlk1d

Massive cuteness overload. Stop by the zoo and see our new baby animals!!!!
Louisville Zoo@LouisvilleZoo
Big news from the colobus troop at the Louisville Zoo! 🖤🤍 Proud parents Ate and Dr. Sheldon Cooper have welcomed another little boy to the family. Big brother Kayin George (born August 2025) is keeping a curious eye on his newest sibling and is often spotted bouncing around the exhibit. Like all colobus monkeys, this baby will be cared for by the females in the troop through alloparenting, as they help nurture and protect the group’s youngest members. Every new arrival is an important step in conserving this incredible species. Stop by and catch a glimpse of the newest addition! 🌿 Looks like it’s officially baby season at the Louisville Zoo 👀🐣🦒🐒

@pamemerson13 @smarkreilly Metro property tax rates are the lowest they have been in almost 25 years. Assessments are being done that increase property values but tax rates for Metro are decreasing. JCPS is the majority of your property taxes.
English
@CMPiagentini @smarkreilly I understand property taxes are increasing again in November. This must stop.

Time to undo the Louisville Jefferson County Merger and let the city be a city again.

Huge news. The Minority Caucus Safer Louisville plan included updates to the massage parlor ordinance that helped lead to this. Thanks to the Metro and state and federal agencies that made this happen.

Search warrants were executed Tuesday at three Louisville locations; five arrests were made; investigators allege the businesses were operating as fronts for commercial sexual exploitation.
English
@smarkreilly Not sure I am tracking the question. What is your definition of “fare”? It was an acknowledgment that the relationship is symbiotic. It would immediately transfer a lot of tax revenue to the suburbs where it is generated.
English
@Sasha_CA These are averages. And even today over 50% of high school grads get married and they are wealthier than their single counterparts. Apples to apples it is always better to get married.
English
@CMPiagentini That's to a large extent the result of who gets married and who doesn't. College-educated professionals get married; working class and especially poor ppl are MUCH less likely to marry.
English
Getting married solves most of the affordability problem.
Research from the U.S. Census Bureau (2022) indicates that married couples under 35 have a median net worth 3.1 times higher than unmarried men and 9.2 times higher than unmarried women.

Donna Barton Brothers spent decades breaking barriers as a jockey and broadcaster, becoming one of the most recognizable voices and faces in the sport. Following her 26th and final Kentucky Derby on the broadcast, I am proud to proclaim May 11 as Donna Barton Brothers Day in Louisville.

@earlbell312686 Men who have kids work more and make more money than men without kids. That is shared with the family and results in greater wealth including for his wife.
English
@CMPiagentini I read your explanation AFTER my post.
Not sure what reproduction has to do with income
English
No. Cohabitation is a failure and many young people were lied to about it.
Median Net Worth Comparison
For young adults (ages 25–34), the wealth difference is particularly stark:
• Married Couples: ~$68,210**
• Cohabiting Couples: ~$17,372**
• Single Individuals: ~$7,341**

@CMPiagentini Isn't this ~approximately offset by cohabitation, though? budgetmodel.wharton.upenn.edu/p/2025-02-18-c….

@earlbell312686 Did you read the rest? I explained it.

@CMPiagentini Oh my bad.
I didnt realize you werent talking about ALL married couples
