"They are insulting to the neighborhood members of the Vision Russell initiative and all the people involved in the years of work being done to revitalize the neighborhoods of west Louisville," Jean Porter said in a statement. "The Mayor is absolutely committed to that work, as evidenced by the citys work to support $1 billion in capital projects there over the past few years, including a new YMCA, the citys foundational $10 million grant to the Louisville Urban Leagues Sports and Learning Complex, the Cedar Street housing development, new businesses, down payment homeownership assistance, and of course, the remaking of the large Beecher Terrace initiative."

You can tell how full of shit they are when they are apparently so aghast at being accused of causing the death of innocent people yet it doesn't stop them from somehow turning this soundbite into an advertisement for their new YMCA and Sports Complex. WTF Jean, you are one sick puppy. The real tragedy here is that their efforts to get people to spend more money on building in their community has had its honor shamed, clearly. How DARE you sir, suggest that we don't care about property values, wait, the other thing human life, right we totally care about that.
