Good day Community,
I am starting a weekly local newsletter so people can stay in touch with their community with the flurry of news coming out of the rest of the world
At the Community level,
The StrEatery closed its doors to customers for a couple nights to open them to the unhoused and those caught in the cold. They converted their facilities into a warming center and soup kitchen for the duration of the storm. This is a powerful act of community from local small business owner Dung Tran.
At the City level,
JCPS has been closed for the duration of the storm and has recently reopened so that kids can finally get back to their favorite activity. Studying!
At the State level,
Kentucky republicans have introduced Senate Bill 86, which requires local law enforcement to work with federal ICE agents. I have stated it once and I will stated it again, I am against this this bill as it will tie up local law enforcement and slow down dispatch responses to local emergencies.
