Louisville is losing homes to short term rentals in the middle of a housing crisis. We introduced legislation to put a moratorium on new short term rentals until we can update the ordinance that regulates them. @Airbnb lied to their local hosts saying our legislation takes their properties, funding, and rights away. This article helps explain what we're doing.

Powerful words from @teri_atthepaper on the Nashville shooting.
At church, "I should have sat by the side door. Because as our pastor reminds us, 'If you ever see me start running down the center aisle, get down or get out.'
This is how we live."
