Corporate-dictated unpaid furloughs.
The closing of our local press.
The listing of our building for sale.
Buyouts. Layoffs.
Time after time, @Gannett's actions have chipped away at morale and at our product.
Louisville deserves better.
(Save your Bingham jokes, plz!)

Weāve watched young reporters with fires in their bellies work second jobs because their @Gannett salary didnāt cut it.
Since the start of 2021, more than 20 of our talented and passionate colleagues have left our paper.
They deserved a company that gave back to them.

Superintendent Marty Pollio is recapping the first day of school.
He says first day transportation woes are normal. Some kindergartners are navigating the bus system for the first time, and that can cause delays.
Also, yesterdayās thunderstorm knocked out power at two compounds

In the last couple of weeks, I've had two stories documenting LMPD's continued refusal to release investigative records in disciplinary cases.
The first, was about a major demoted to lieutenant: courier-journal.com/story/news/locā¦

Iām at the Louisville Metro Councilās government oversight committee meeting, where Amy Hess, chief of public safety, and Robert Schroeder, acting chief of @LMPD, are both present. Previously, Schroeder had indicated to the courts he would not testify. Guess weāll see...
Also in the room is LMPDās command staff, seen hearing taking oath.
Hess begins with a disclaimer about all the things she cannot say, citing state law as well as requests from @kyoag and FBI, who have not announced final outcome from #BreonnaTaylor investigation.
THREAD: Quotes from protesters in Louisville, who want justice for #BreonnaTaylor.

"The mayor is saying he can't fire the police, the chief is trying to slide out. Who is holding the police accountable?"

"You had people who were really upset already, then you provoke a crowd that's already at the brink of their breaking point. These are the people who've watched their brothers get killed on live video."

1/Dear #loumedia:
GDC believes it takes a ton of racially-motivated gall for @AndyBeshearKY to stand on this hallowed activist ground for this event, the @AliCenter. He privately apologized for 1) @steve_beshear's lack of Black diversity on the board;

2/ 2) he never publicly engaged @MattBevin's decision to join the @LouisvilleJRC racial composition case, nor former Prez Ramsey's abrupt turnaround to support Bevin, including an order to stop operation of @uofl BofT;
3/ And most importantly he has never explained why it took criticism of a 2017 @uoflf audit for him to start a criminal investigation, ignoring probable cause evidence of crimes in 2015 article by Chris Otts. wdrb.com/news/sunday-edā¦
