Transparency Bill Shot Down in Flames

The much-discussed transparency bill met a painful death in a House committee today, effectively killing the attempt to force Mayor Abramson's administration to "show us the money". I supported this bill, as did many other pro-labor Democrats in Louisville. We have simply grown tired of Abramson's cagey answers on the city budget. The Ville Voice is reporting the vote was along party lines, with only Rep. Reggie Meeks voting with us.

The House Democrats that killed this bill should be ashamed.
