uh walking to my jeep or you might know it
as Air Force Wando, and I thought, you know what,
the weather's going to be great, so forecast for the
(02:48):
Wittings to be on Trinity property.

Speaker 1 (03:43):
Sorry, I'm sorry. I grew up in an age when
only men read the news. My apology.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
What do you do to you? I mean, because when
we go to like Saint Paul, Saint Lawrence, Mount Carme
or whatever it might be, we just walk around and
hang out. Do you go to your yard and stand
in the No?
Speaker 1 (04:00):
I go, I go work the agree with you work
the cake booth. Or I go to the beer tent
and work the beer tent, and and then I come back. Yes,
I host. I am the host and the with the most. John,
you're a couple of you're about a year away from
from taking your kid Daisy out, and about two different events.
(04:24):
When John was I think two maybe less, he was
in his we had him in his troller and we
went down to uh thunder over Louisville and the older
the older lady with a mullet, you know, the lady,
and she has a cigarette and she's got about half
the cigarette his ash, and she she has a tall
boy in one hand and the cigarette and the other.
(04:46):
And she spotted John in his uh and his in
his little thing and she comes over and going.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
Oh yeah, look at the baby.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
Get you get jig.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
That went animidating event for a young child.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
I exposed John to as many terrifying, unwinnable situations as possible.
Speaker 3 (05:09):
Smart idea.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
Well, he's a boy. He's got to learn to don'trangle
the world.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
I'll never get you go your baby soon. See a baby,
I'm like, uh, hey, uh, why don't you get that
germ factory away from me? Bring it back when it's
about fifteen and understands things.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
Well, he's a liar, John. And I'll tell you why
because when John was like five or six and had
a lot of questions, Dwight was John was already smarter
than Dwight.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
I was quite the resource until he was three.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
So Dwight would do you know, he'd come over, we
do the show from the house to do whatever, and
he would, you know, and John would John would correct
him all the time. Yeah, mister Dwight, that's not actually
true that you got to do this, And then Dwight
would go, I'm so stupid. I'm oh no, we were yes, sir, no, sir,
even for Dwight though, oh yes, I may.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
Yeah, he looked Dwight look like dan O' checking in
Dano's saying he's gonna be at Foxfast from seven pm
to ten pm.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
Yes, dude, there's so many things.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
Dan Old's got a band, dan Hurt.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
The Holy Churney Picnic. It's uh, it's a point three
miles well, yeah, point three miles from a Foxfest.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
I think Dano needs a band like Dano and the Seasoners.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
Actually, if you were smart, you take some Fox Foxfest
passes and hand him out at the Holy Charnity Pick.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
How about that and just say, hey, this is for
me dan O. Dan Hey, I noticed that you fried
fish Catholic sandwich doesn't have enough seasoning on me. Let
me dan O season you fish.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
They daddy who gave you the dan Oh nickname.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
By the way, this seasoning is just specifically made for fish.
That's why I call it ce s e a seasoning me.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
Uh wait, love you Dan, Oh, we love you buddy.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
As a matter of fact, I'm gonna be I'm doing
a brisket this weekend. I'm gonna put some of the
Daniel's crunchy on it to get that bark. You'll get
some of this brisket.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
We Uh. I was talking. I think it's an interesting
conversation about the hot rod, about the hot Rod show
this weekend, and I said, it's a happy is it?
Somebody out there? Open the open the door? Carry who's it?
Who's there? Come on, Oh, we have a guest, We
have a gat Come on in, Come on in, Come
on in.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
Scott Reid cownsman. Reid's always on Lombardi time.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
Yeah, okay, you know.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
God Man.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
All right, Well Scott can chime in on this. He's uh,
he's all right, Scott. Are you in the fifties or sixties?
Speaker 2 (07:36):
That are sixties? Who looks every bit of sixty eight?
Speaker 1 (07:39):
Uh? The hot rod is so The hot Rod show
in this weekend at the fair Grounds got me talking
about this with Nick Coffee. When your kids are gone,
you're in a married couple, if you don't find something
to do, like he starts working on classic cars. Then
(08:01):
alls you If you don't find something bigger than yourself
to work on or do something, or be part of
your church or whatever, you're gonna be staring at each other.
Oh my god, in the house and there's no possible
And then you're like, well, he's just trying to escape
the wife. The wife is like, please get out of
my face, go do something.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
I don't know if I could do the golf thing.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
That's another distraction. But do you agree, counselman, that you
have to have once you get here, you go, once
you get retired, once you get you know, close to retirement,
the kids are gone. I think the hot rod thing
is a is an avenue for couples to either get
both get involved with. But you gotta do something or
you're gonna it's gonna get boring real quick.
Speaker 4 (08:41):
Well, I think they should take tennis lessons together and
you do something active like that.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
Oh yeah, it's yeah together.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
What are you talking about?
Speaker 1 (08:48):
Do you own a physical therapist to place? Is that
what it is?
Speaker 4 (08:53):
Tennis lover myself? It sounds a little bit more exciting.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
What's your tennis noise? Here's mine, what's yours?
Speaker 4 (09:01):
Oh you know.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
Oh that's a good tennis noise I.
Speaker 4 (09:05):
Got from Jimmy Connors.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
You'd probably be interested in this. And I don't know
if this sounds like you would say this, But there
was an argument on one of the pickleball tables at
the Jewish Community Center and I was walking around the
walking track and I overheard it and they were arguing
over a point. And the older person says, hey, you
know what I was doing at your age, and he
goes what he was like playing tennis? Why don't you
play tennis?
Speaker 2 (09:28):
We're old.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
We're playing pickleball, you punk.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
You know every time somebody our starts playing pickleball, Orthopedis
gets a new boat. That is true.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
That is true. It's the number one.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
Reason torn I haven't told anybody yet.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
Just go ahead and share, should I or not?
Speaker 2 (09:47):
Okay, listen, if you're out there.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
No secrets.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
I want everybody. Get a hat. Okay, now hold on
to that hat. I tore my achilles tended back. And
I know, I know you're such a hero, but people
keep coming up to be going pickleball.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
I know you won't call your self a hero.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
I really am.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
I will call you.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
But people keep asking me was it a pickle ball injury?
Speaker 1 (10:09):
So I guess there's worse things to do than than
pick up pickle pickleball or or start well, some some
of them are expensive.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
Golf is golf is not pensive.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
It's not cheap. What just to play?
Speaker 2 (10:21):
Like you buy the you know, the clubs and the
big dog callaway or wherever it is, and the putting devices.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
And technically is pretty interpensive. You get the racket and
a couple of balls. Most of the like all of
the courts at Seneca are free, that's true.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
Well no, but you get like, my wife's in these.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
Leagues, Well, she's nuts.
Speaker 2 (10:39):
My wife is in the we Tried league. It's where
they all get we tried trophies.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
You know, No, no, no, no, she's high level tennis.
She's she's so much more athletic. Now, why do you
think this is part of our conversations? Why do you
think she continues to play in that league to get away?
She doesn't want to be in your face.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
There's no questions. She just went to Mobile, Alabama for
like Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday because she wanted to get
away with me. Get away from me.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
As she hobbles through the locker room injured and her
friend goes, why do you keep doing it? Because it
makes twite happy?
Speaker 2 (11:11):
I'm gonna keep going. No, no, there's no tennis play.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
So you're a tennis guy.
Speaker 4 (11:17):
Yeah, I played tennis for a long time.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
Yes, and uh so you don't anymore.
Speaker 4 (11:22):
Well, I've had some lower back issues, so I've kind
of graduated to the to the pickleball.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
Are you good at pickleball?
Speaker 4 (11:31):
I think good is relative right at this stage? So
what's the key?
Speaker 2 (11:35):
I don't.
Speaker 4 (11:36):
I will tell you that that it's a much greater
workout than people think. I bet it is because you're
doing a lot of bending and the ball doesn't balance
like it doesn't in tennis. Right, so's point about orthopedic surgeons.
You know they get a good workout.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
Because bending sounds exhausting.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
You're talking to the guy who was just pushing something
and popped his achilles tendent. What do I need that
in my wife for? I mean, I make noises just
getting up off the couch.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
It literally is just ping pong on a bigger scale.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
Yeah, well just play ping pong.
Speaker 4 (12:06):
Well, look, I mean I think anything we have great
and I'm gonna pluck Hayes Kennedy Park. We have great
new pickleball. Yeah yeah, it is Hayes Kennedy Park, and
they're very popular and it gets people out and active,
and it gets people that have never played racket sports
out playing. So it's not only X tennis players, but
it's people that are playing for the first time. So
I think it's great.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
It never it actually really surprises me every time I
hear how much it costs to redo a playground.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
Now, well, here's what I want to know. Who's your playground, guy.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
I gotta tell you Saint Matthew's redid the park over
off Lagrange Road. Oh. I can't remember the name of it.
But the Troy Roebuck used to live over there. That's
why I'm inside baseball. I'm trying to tell you. But
it was a couple of million bucks. Holy Trinity rebuilt
their playgrounds. It was four hundred and seventy five k
per playground. Because you can't just do wood chips and
(12:59):
a swing, No, you gotta have all this other stuff.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
And we just had swing sets and there's like gravel
and coke bottle, you know. But the top show those
spiky tops around everywhere. Yeah, there was a.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
And now there's no bolts that stick out to get
caught on your eye, to earn that scar above your eyes.
Speaker 2 (13:19):
There's no spark plugs, no sparks. Saw something yesterday that
I had forgotten about. It was a picture of a child.
Of course, it wasn't a recent picture. It's from the
late seventies, early eighties. And you can tell was that
the cocat paper, the whole bit. And what it was
is a kid on a swing set and then right
at the highest.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
Point I was trying to get into distance.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
No, yeah, that's right, the highest point jumping down the
swing set. Used to we used to do that.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
Oh yeah, if you fall back, that doesn't count. You
have to landing. Baby, That's exactly right. And now they
can't just do wood chips or uh, you know, they
have to.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
Have children might be allergic to wood.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
It's like rubber. It's like chopped up rubber or something
like that.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
Make sure it's not latex, because Sally's allergic to latex.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
And uh, it's so cool because all of the stuff
that they climb on. And I will say it is
good that they have swing sets for people that are
challenged or you know, they have different things that if
you're in a wheelchair you can.
Speaker 4 (14:17):
Get your kids can actually get it in and that's
extremely important.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
Yeah, and it's so cool to see it because those
kids never get to do that, So that's pretty cool.
But it is I think we need to get into
playground construction. Sounds like a gold mine to me too.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
There was a swimming pool on a well of these
neighborhoods and they had like a water slide, you know,
water slide, you know, and they need to replace it.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
And they say, well, well, thank god, the upkeeps cheap.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
We're going to try to replace it. But it's like
a ninety five thousand dollars. Who's your water slide guy?
Speaker 1 (14:48):
Yeah? Yeah, all right, what are we talking about with
the councilman here?
Speaker 2 (14:52):
After we come back, We're going to talk about how
to be a councilman and be a pick a ball
player without getting injured. So if you're a council one
person out there and you play pickleball, you want to
stick around everybody else? Yeah, you're dismissed. Now, what we
will what we talked about?
Speaker 4 (15:07):
We want to talk about River Road. Yeah, the closures
there and how to how to support the restaurants that
are on River Road, among other things going on in
the district, traffic and all that.
Speaker 1 (15:16):
So we could you and we'll tease this on the
other side. Do you have an answer of how long
that Zorn Avenue? It's not a it's not an issue
because I'd go that every way every day, so we
just use one lane. I'm not complaining. I'm just wondering
when all that will be finished. Do you have an
idea when that is that?
Speaker 4 (15:32):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
Okay, I got you.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
He's complaining. That was a direct attack to counsel.
Speaker 4 (15:37):
That's out of my district.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
All right, all right. BK Plumbing Supply. Yeah, you can
see the toteo next to seven this weekend at my house.
You cannot test drive it because I'm not going to
have a line out the door driving it. But BK
Plumbing Supply is where you can get this toilet. It
is next level. It's a bidet system and have light
has lights on the side. Last night, I drank too
much darn water before where I went to bed, so
(16:01):
I was getting up. I got up three times. When
you walk in the room, it senses that you are there.
It's like I sends him he is here. And the
lights under the toilet come on so you can see
what you're doing, and the and the lid goes.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
Pretty soon, it's gonna know your patterns. If you're not
there at three, is the toilet's gonna come in and
wake you up and go hey, Tony.

big deal. So well, that's where they choose a college
player that's very versatile, because Horning was that he had
the record in the NFL for the most points scored

of points, so field goals and extra points. John, at
your young age, you were born in ninety seven, do

Yeah, yesday yeah, and breakdancers.
Speaker 2 (20:54):
Breakdancers, right, Remember how we dominated the streets absolutely the
nation with our sick rhymes. Remember that. Remember, well, this
is just off the top of my head. Freestyle. Put
your phone down. Phone.
Speaker 1 (21:06):
I think it's brilliant. I think it's just came on
the top of my head. I think it's brilliant.
Speaker 2 (21:09):
Learned it all from counselman, Scott Reid. Hey, how you doing, counselman.
Speaker 1 (21:14):
There we go, There you go, there you go, there.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
Go, Yeah, there you go. I got it from you, man.
That's why. That's right.
Speaker 4 (21:20):
You'll me some money.
Speaker 2 (21:21):
No, you are musical. You're always posting, not always, but
every once in a while.
Speaker 4 (21:24):
You playing the guitar, guitar and drums, drums. In my
main instrument.
Speaker 1 (21:28):
Do you want to make the confession you made to
me in break about music? Oh?
Speaker 4 (21:31):
Yeah, we were talking earlier about how things are different
now than when you were in college, you know, like
and when I was in college I couldn't stand the beg's,
and now and now it was pretty darn good. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
So there were some bands that AB was one of
those where I was like, if you play ABB, I'm
on punch in the face.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
And now I love it, and listen to this one.
Speaker 1 (21:49):
Now I won't listen to it with the window down,
you know, like, Okay, they're looking at me.
Speaker 2 (21:55):
I'm sitting at the top of my lugs, knowing you,
knowing me.
Speaker 1 (21:59):
But yes, did you ever think you matured as a listener?
Speaker 4 (22:03):
No, I didn't think I would like staying alive listen
pretty good tune.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
I was hardcore heavy metal. But I am. I am
unapologetically a Fanelough and have been for years, I mean
for about ten years now, Big Verry Man Olin, you
admit that.
Speaker 4 (22:22):
Yes, Susan must be ashamed.
Speaker 2 (22:23):
I'm a Fanelo Nolf.
Speaker 1 (22:25):
He's still alive. He's mostly robot, still.
Speaker 2 (22:27):
The cod short. I think his two eye lads are natural.
Everything else, everything else this great show, zero facial expression.
But here is the best part. I ran into one
of the keelings on the way in. He goes, you're
gonna love this show. I said, really, why because he's
off at nine. I thought, well, all, I said, well,
all headliners go on stage at nine ten at nine.
(22:51):
He goes, no, No, he's off at nine. I went,
what he said, starts at seven thirty. He's done at nine.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
All right, we really needed you to come in and
talk about River Road. Catch us up on what's going on,
a lot of misinformation out there. Tell us what's going on.
Speaker 4 (23:05):
Well, first of all, the River Road project is a
residual line project that was very necessary. Okay, so this
was this was think of it as infrastructure that just
went bad, and we all want clean water right now.
The timing of River Road being closed because of this
Luba Water Company project probably wasn't the greatest thing because
(23:25):
that happened right before Derby and a lot of those
restaurants rely on on Derby revenue. That so they've had
a rough year, Yeah they have, And this was a
this is a two year project, right, and you know,
fixing infrastructure is never sexy.
Speaker 1 (23:40):
Right, No, I get it. We can be, but no,
it's like getting a new roof at your house. It's
just like it can be. But the way you all
have the workers dressing.
Speaker 4 (23:48):
It's not Okay, well that's true, yes, so, but I
think the thing that to be it's very important to
me and your listeners hopefully, is that those restaurants are
open for business right and we, I think is a
community owe it to them to support them. And if
you go onto the Louis of Water Company website, it
shows you exactly how to access the areas of River
(24:09):
Road okay, via some of the side roads. And they're
doing this in three stages. And my understanding from the
water company is at their headed schedule, which is great. Great,
So that's good.
Speaker 1 (24:17):
Sure they get bonus if they finished earlier.
Speaker 4 (24:19):
Yeah, but the restaurants there need our help. I know
that their business revenue is down. And if I can
impart in your listeners, one thing you know, these are
not just average restaurants.
Speaker 1 (24:28):
The Cunninghams has maybe the best burger. I mean, it's
one of the best burgers that you can eat on
the river right of cqs Is has been the master
since have been part of the Louisville landscape for overall
hundred years.
Speaker 4 (24:41):
Yes, that's right, the Pine Room.
Speaker 1 (24:42):
I mean you could go on and on and all that. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (24:45):
And like you said, it's been a bad year for
these restaurants with the flood and then going right into this.
Speaker 4 (24:52):
So we had the financially yeah, so we had the
residual line projects, so they were already closing the road.
Then you had the flood, right, So this is like
a double wham.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
It really is.
Speaker 4 (25:00):
It's you know, it's it's not been good at all.
So please go to those restaurants, you know, as you
were saying a minute ago, do Uber Eats whatever, Let's
support them.
Speaker 1 (25:11):
You remember Schwartz Coff used to daily, used to during
the Goal War. Remember he would come in daily and go,
here's what we're doing. We almost need that now, not
because the River Road thing started. The construction boom. Now
that Brownsboro Road intersection and so the the exit right
after Indian Hills, that's like a cut through what we're
(25:33):
doing to do. Ever, so now you have all these
construction things happening in the same area. It is kind
of difficult to know because I honestly I turned around
at the Brownsboro Entrances to go somewhere else, and I
got caught in another construction zone.
Speaker 4 (25:48):
So I was like, no, that's tough. Yeah, so one thing.
Look the two sixty four forty two road construction. Those
are all Kentucky projects. Yeah right, can't take it project.
I want to make the very clear, lu Metric is separate,
has nothing to do with anything.
Speaker 2 (26:04):
Are you pushing this off on my wife? Now?
Speaker 4 (26:06):
What?
Speaker 1 (26:06):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (26:08):
She had nothing to do. No, Actually, this was this
was planned, This was playing well before the VA hospital
even right. They were going to do this regardless. And
I will say that, in my opinion, they could have
coordinated much better with with the water company with regard
to amen.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
I wasn't going to say it, but use it. You do.
Speaker 4 (26:26):
Yes, it's not good at all. And you know we're
getting calls rightly, So I travel it every day. I
know what it's going. It's gonna get worse when school starts.
Speaker 2 (26:34):
Oh yeah, and that's next week. That's right.
Speaker 1 (26:39):
So MSD how much of that project? And you may
not know this because you don't work for MSD, but
your counselman, how much is that as federal dollars? Are
we getting help from the FED. Or is this all
us which project you the water on the river river road?
Speaker 4 (26:53):
No, that's that's what it's water company.
Speaker 1 (26:55):
So it's all water company. We don't get any federal help.
Speaker 4 (26:58):
My understanding is no.
Speaker 1 (26:59):
Okay, all right, because there's a lot of infrastructure money
for the last couple of years that has now gone dry.
Speaker 4 (27:04):
Don't blut me on that. But I don't think so okay,
I got the budget.
Speaker 2 (27:07):
Yeah I got Josh, I hope this doesn't mean our
water bills go well.
Speaker 1 (27:11):
And here's the thing, and if you get into the
politics and all this, look the budgets, there's never enough
money in the budget. So what do they do. They
keep kicking the can down. Is the thing still carrying water? Yeah,
we'll do it next year. And that's how you get
caught up on it.
Speaker 4 (27:23):
Oh that's right. And a minute ago, just like I said,
you know, your infrastructure is never sexy. So it was
one of those things where in five years, if they
didn't fix it and this water line broke and water
isn't getting the prospect or into Ghoshen or wherever, then
people are gonna say, we why didn't you fix it
when you had a chance.
Speaker 1 (27:41):
Because the year before, the cops came to you and
said we needed all new computers in the cars and
that was going to be a million bucks. So that's
where that went, and you went, all right, that's more
important than the water fix. Now I get it.
Speaker 4 (27:50):
No, I get it's unfortunate timing and I think exacerbated
with the whole two sixty four forty two state projects.
So people just gonna have to be patient.
Speaker 1 (27:59):
Yeah, absolutely, no, no, no, no doubt. So that is
good news. Zorn Avenue is also getting worked on. I
assume that's the same from from Brownsboro to Zorn or
to River Road. Is Zorn Avenue? Is that the same project?
Speaker 4 (28:16):
I don't know that's the honest truth, but I would
I wouldn't be surprised if it is.
Speaker 2 (28:21):
Yeah, yeah, you might have already addressed this if you
did know that. I forget everything as soon as it's
told to me. What is the timeline on this?
Speaker 1 (28:29):
Do we do years?
Speaker 4 (28:31):
You're looking it's uh, yeah, we'd say probably the end
of I think they're saying the beginning of twenty twenty seven,
but they are ahead of schedule.
Speaker 2 (28:38):
I know that you're just going to move forward progressively.
I mean where it's affecting just these businesses.
Speaker 4 (28:43):
Yeah, so they're they're head of schedule. And again, I
think it's just very important that we support the shore runs.
Speaker 2 (28:51):
Yeah, get out there, man, that's right.
Speaker 1 (28:54):
I don't know why, but it seemed like on this
show just two years ago for that, you know, there
was three or four years in a row that we
were talking about the Metro Council all the time. Were
we not? Absolutely? I thought there was a Metro Council
issue almost every day. We It's almost like you like
we've ghosted each other. What is it? What is going
(29:15):
on with the Metro Council and what's the big biggest
Uh I don't know, uh problems or are good things
that are happening with the with the council.
Speaker 4 (29:25):
Well, first of all, you know I'm a Republican, and
that there are now twelve Republicans on Metro Council and
the thirteen thirteen Democrats and there's one one independent. So
these are this is the most Republicans we've had since merger.
It's really had we had. We have Republicans that are
chairs of committees. Uh, Kevin Kramer, who is the chair
of the Budget Committee, and you know we have more
(29:48):
of a say. I will say that Mayor Greenberg has
done a much better job than his predecessor in terms
of community communicating.
Speaker 2 (29:54):
Now that the bar was low, I was really long.
Speaker 4 (29:57):
But to his credit, he has these very good people
around him. Yes, and they do communicate with us and
they keep us in the loop. So we just passed
a budget and that was I think that was important.
We've got three thirty million dollars in road infrastructure. And
then we start talking about things that are not sexy.
But one of the things that the prior administration allowed
(30:18):
to happen was a lot of our buildings fell into
major disrepair. So we've got a lot of money in
for deferred maintenance. And again that's not very sexy, but
these are all things that matter. Yeah, I think I
think having more Republicans on Metro Council helps balance things out.
Now we have for the first time an equal representation
I think of the sentiment of the city.
Speaker 1 (30:37):
And that's thanks to the South end. Didn't four Dixie
four of them, four of them flipped, I believe.
Speaker 4 (30:45):
Yeah, it was three flipped.
Speaker 1 (30:46):
Three of them, but that was South was notoriously Democrat.
And then now that's flip.
Speaker 4 (30:52):
That's right, and those reps are doing a great job, right, well,
well you do.
Speaker 2 (30:56):
It's it's Khalil, It's Jonathan, Joseph Joseph.
Speaker 1 (31:02):
And Hatcher, isn't it hatch b Yeah? All right, Okay,
one big thing we haven't heard that should be said
about the Metro Council. Anything that comes to mind that
we have in their news isn't covering that's been good.
Besides the passing of the budget.
Speaker 2 (31:19):
Uh no.
Speaker 4 (31:20):
I think one of the things that people need to
realize is that as a whole we get along pretty well. Yeah,
we compromise. We have to pass a budget. We have
to balance the budget. If the federal government communicated like
local government did that, we wouldn't be in a lot
of the mess that we're at.
Speaker 1 (31:35):
Sure, And what about the louisll Sports Commission? Can we
get more money for them? We have the louis Sports Committee.
I'm laying well, Council with thanks are coming in today
for sure?
