Hard to hold anyone liable for extorting money from the city when the Mayor is a willful party to the extortion. Wasn't it just a few months ago that he was saying they were going to have to shut down essential services because of a lack of funds? Now they have $12 million to give away.

Quote HistoryQuoted: wouldn't the cities insurance pay it or something? That is possible but many larger cities are self-insured. I doubt that any insurance companies would keep insuring Louisville after all the claims that keep rolling in year after year. What do you think their premiums would be? If there had been an insurance co. involved, I doubt there would have been a settlement this soon. A simple Open Records Request would answer that question. Maybe I'll send one tomorrow as I am waiting out this virus. |

Louisville is self insured. With a population of about 600,000, it's about 20 bucks a head the Mayor spent from everyone's pocket.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Louisville is self insured. With a population of about 600,000, it's about 20 bucks a head the Mayor spent from everyone's pocket. Thanks for that information. I assumed that was true and I'd bet the Ky. League of Cities is breathing a sigh of relief, since they sell liability insurance to most Ky. cities. Remember not all residents pay tax to the Metro government. Unless you own real property or a business there are probably no taxes due from a resident of Jefferson County. The personal property tax on vehicles is capped at the value of the vehicle and shared with the state and will not enter into that money. The true percapita involvement in this outlay is probably double your estimate because only half of the population actually pays any county taxes. At some point, taxpayers of Jefferson County may decide a moving van is cheaper that continued residence in Louisville Metro. Property values will take a hit on this, too. Oldham, Bullitt and Shelby Counties look better every day. Don't forget that the premiums for individual liability insurance for property owners is going up too since insurance companies consider the risk of more claims in that calculation. Get your checkbooks out boys. |

Everyone who feels the police treated them poorly should be suing. If the Mayor doesn't pay they should protest and demand justice. He set a terrible precedent by doing this and it is going to cost the city for a very long time.
