I’m pleased that we are now beginning to emerge from the national recession. A recent Brookings report puts us as the fourth fastest growing ecconomy in the nation, and that growth is creating a healthier budget. Revenue is up, and we’ve kept the growth in expenses more in liine with revenue gains. I’ve been proud of every budget I’ve presented to you – each represented my team’s best, most creative work in tough financial situations. But I’m most encouraged by this budget, in which we are beginning to make the kinds of infrastructure investments we’d long had to put off. We are creating pathways to progress! This plan, with total expenditures of $716 million, including $528 million in General Fund dollars, is a fiscally conservative budget that meets the needs of the city and citizens. Sincerely, Greg Fischer Mayor WWW.LOUISVILLEKY.GOV LOUISVILLE METRO HALL 527 WEST JEFFERSON STREET LOUISVILLE, KENTUCKY 40202 502.574.2003 TABLE OF CONTENTS INTRODUCTION Louisville Metro Government
