Who won and who lost on budget

Hello, boosted violence-prevention funding. But goodbye, Synergy Project. Louisville Metro Council signed off Thursday on a fiscal year 2021-22 budget that largely preserves the police and public safety spending proposed by Mayor Greg Fischer — choosing not to cut the embattled Louisville Metro Police’s funding.

The $1.04 billion budget, approved 24-2 Thursday, comes after months of discussion including an engaged public calling for funding changes to public safety following a year of protests and record violent crime.
