"Over the last few years, it's taken tragedy to shine a bright light on many of our city's long-standing problems," said Greenberg in the release. "Now is the time to build a Louisville that works for everyone. Together, we'll build a Louisville that provides opportunity to every child and that treats every resident and neighborhood with the respect they deserve."
