The Jefferson County PVA said it expects thousands of people to appeal. 

The Jefferson County PVA reassessed property values this year in several neighborhoods across the city.

City council members disagree on how and if the money should be spent on owning a building.

Jecorey Arthur said council isn't practicing equity in the way it spends some city funds.

City leaders say the extra money is useful but not a cure-all to economic woes caused by COVID-19.

Leaders say city services like libraries could face cuts if Washington doesn't help cities like Louisville.

Several local groups, mainly nonprofits, made their pitch for funding as Louisville Metro Councilmembers deal with an already tight budget that Fischer says could include cuts to public safety without federal help amid the coronavirus pandemic.

Fischer warned that without more aid, the city will be forced to triple last year's cuts.
