Jefferson County

It looks like an old flash cube that was on a Kodak or a Polaroid years ago.

And he makes a ton of money because if you ever want to do a live shot, any network, he has the studio now in Jefferson County in Louisville, Kentucky, where everybody goes for live shots.

Used to be downtown on Broadway.

Now it's out in St. Matthews or near St. Matthews.

Remember, we do this every week as we push towards the election.

The Power Shift is designed to turn out the vote here in Louisville, Kentucky, Jefferson County, because we do not have a registration problem.

in louisville kentucky we have a turnout problem um and so we want to harness the power of the people uh and get to the polls so that we can make changes uh throughout our city and our community our state um and our nation to make sure that what we want to happen is actually happening that we are putting people into place into office who are going to be responsive to our needs And so that is what the power shift campaign is about.

Remember that you can go and pledge to vote right there in the top corner of your screen as a QR code.

In other words, McConnell planned on running for public office as a Republican, and he wanted to clean himself of that salty Nixon stench before doing so.

That opportunity came in 1977 when McConnell ran for Jefferson County Judge in Kentucky.

Despite wielding the charisma of a hospital bed, McConnell made his pitch to voters as a genuine, down the middle kind of guy.

If you think we're stuck with politics as usual in Jefferson County, don't tell that to Mitch McConnell.

I'm from the south end.

We came up the hard way, the right way, like a lot of you.

That was reaffirmed in 1982 in a Supreme Court case called Brown versus Hartlage.

Uh, that, that was an interesting case, right? It involved the 1979 election for the county commission in Jefferson County, Kentucky, and candidates Carl Brown and Bill Creech, uh, each pledged to take a reduced salary if they were elected, and they said that that would save the te- county taxpayers $36,000 over their term.

Uh, Brown won.

He defeated the incumbent, Earl Hartlage, at which point Hartlage sued to vacate the election under the Kentucky Corrupt Practices Act.

I tell you what, you know what's really strange? I believe it is a very – you know, we have a big split here in Louisville.

The Kentucky fans that live in Louisville, in Jefferson County, around the city, you know, they have to deal with Louisville fans every day, you know, and their job, family, everything else.

I get the sense that they don't like Pope.

That's kind of how we talk about it.

Within

the Jefferson County border.

Yeah, yeah, exactly.

Thank you.

We have seen flock cameras solve some crimes and even prevent some crimes, but we have also seen numerous abuses around the country that cannot continue.

Two Jefferson County law enforcement officers were recently accused of misusing flock cameras.

One officer was arrested for tracking the movements of a former romantic partner and harassing her over a five-month period, and a detective is being investigated for conducting searches for a vehicle issued to a police department employee.

I'm Lisa Autry in Bowling Green.

I mean, it's so it's we actually had a shooting in another county.

Now that I think about it, we had in Jefferson County in Louisville, there was an individual who shot someone at a Texas Roadhouse restaurant and some people there were able to identify his car.

They didn't get his plate, but they identified his car.

That car came into Bullitt County and we actually stopped him and arrested him.

Three Louisville people.

See, we own Jefferson County.

All right, what's your rationale?

So I've got... a nephew that lives with me.
