Mayor Fischer Talks Challenges, Development Plan For Next Three Years

from On Track

It has been a memorable year for Louisville and Mayor Greg Fischer. Last November, Fischer was elected to his third and final term in office and major projects, like a track and field complex and a new YMCA, are finally underway. Fischer has used his office to take up issues like gun control, but state and federal laws could hamper city efforts. Then, there's also the city's budget challenges as it grapples with a state pension crisis. We talk to Fischer and ask what other challenges are ahead as part of WFPL's In Conversation.
