How's that whole merger thing going anyway?
Its going. We'll leave it at that. It's a brand-new goverment coming down in January here, all to be determined in November's elections for city council. I have mixed emotions about it all. I am not ashamed to admit that I, unlike most Louisville Republicans I know, voted against merger, mainly out of concern for bigger government with more taxing power. But the fact is, it passed, and now I hope for the best. In a strict numbers-sense way, we definitely will have more "R's" and less "D's" than under the old government. We will just have to wait and see where the November winners lie on the ideology scale.
