In 2022, the Metro Council passed an ordinance that regulated lobbying of Louisville officials. It required companies, associations and others trying to influence government decisions to reveal the specific actions they're pursuing. That rarely happens: wdrb.com/in-depth/louis…

Big transportation news that'll affect the Louisville area: Work is underway to permanently reduce the Clark Memorial Bridge, the only non-tolled bridge downtown, from 4 lanes to 3. There would just be one lane into Louisville. More from @Dalton_Godbey: wdrb.com/news/state-off…

@LucasAulbach Taking a break from my “X-ile “ to say thank ya, brother

Another morning drive from Louisville to Frankfort, another morning spent thinking about the usual — how could the Pulitzer Committee *possibly* snub @MarcusGreenWDRB in 2011 for his story on the Peytona-Waddy/Waddy-Peytona I-64 exit sign controversy??

We have updated this story to emphasize that no specific explanation has been given for her departure. The board chair declined to answer those questions tonight.

New: I called U of L President Kim Schatzel on her cell phone today and asked if she still had her job. “I can’t comment,” she told me. What we know ahead of a special board of trustees meeting tomorrow wdrb.com/news/education… via @WDRBNews

More to come at @WDRBNews as we confirm more after a loud boom was heard across parts of the city a short time ago. Here's what we know: wdrb.com/news/louisvill… via @WDRBNews

This was just an all-around rout. Amendment 2 (allow legislature to fund K-12 ed outside public school system) lost in every single county. Only one (McCreary, 53-47) was within single digits.

In other closely watched races, incumbent Republican Scott Reed, who was first elected to the council seat in 2016, is leading Democratic challenger Matt Golden 53%-47%. Marilyn Parker (R), who has served on the council since 2013 is leading Mera Kathryn Corlett (D) 53%-47%.

Cindi Fowler (D) is losing to GOP candidate Crystal Bast (R) 52%- 48%. Fowler was first elected in 2012. Republican Ginny Mulvey-Woolridge is leading Democrat Tyra Thomas-Walker 53%-47% for the seat now held by Madonna Flood (D).

With 96% of precincts in, Republicans are well positioned to pick up seats on the Louisville Metro Council. Rick Blackwell (D) is in a dead heat with challenger Jonathan “JJ” Joseph (R), 50%-50%. Blackwell is an original member of the council created by city-county merger.

Judge Haner's full order

Jefferson Circuit Judge Eric Haner’s order notes the extensive media coverage of this issue and asks news outlets to remind voters that they are legally allowed to vote and “have their voice heard” if they are in line at 6 pm, when the polls close in Louisville.

New: Judge denies @KyDems’ request to keep polls in Jefferson County open until 8 pm after tech issues/delays this morning. The Dems “failed to establish that anyone at those locations were denied the right to vote since at no time did any of the polling locations close.”
