Chelsey Nelson Wins Suit
But Fairness Ordinance remains
LOUISVILLE, Ky. – To conclude a lawsuit brought by Alliance Defending Freedom attorneys, the city of Louisville has agreed to pay $800,000 in attorneys’ fees for violating the First Amendment rights of photographer and blogger Chelsey Nelson. The fee settlement comes after the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Kentucky held Louisville accountable for violating Nelson’s freedom to speak messages consistent with her religious beliefs.
"The government cannot force Americans to say things they don’t believe," ADF Senior Counsel Bryan Neihart said in the news release. "For almost six years, Louisville officials tried to do just that by threatening to force Chelsey to promote views about marriage that violated her religious beliefs. Louisville's threats contradicted bedrock First Amendment principles which leave decisions about what to say with the people, not the government. This settlement should teach Louisville that violating the U.S. Constitution can be expensive." Read more.

C-J reports: Judge dismisses final charges against LMPD officers in Taylor case
A federal judge has dismissed all remaining charges against two Louisville Metro Police Department officers involved in drafting the no-knock search warrant that led to Breonna Taylor's fatal shooting in 2020.
Charles R. Simpson of the Western District of Kentucky signed an order on March 27 dismissing the charges against Joshua Jaynes and Kyle Meany with prejudice, meaning federal prosecutors cannot bring the same charges against them again using the same evidence.
The dismissal came a week after federal prosecutors asked Simpson to dismiss the charges “in the interest of justice.”
Lives wrecked. Reputations destroyed. Complicity by media in unproved and false narrative claiming civil rights violations. And Louisville has lost two outstanding officers.
This all happened under Democrat administrations in Louisville Metro. Carefully consider for whom you will vote in the Primary.

Louisville Zoo Expansion
Kentucky Trails will be an interactive experience, providing up-close encounters with species such as bison, elk, black bear, bobcat and other animals that are native to the state.
The Louisville Zoo is actively fundraising to meet a $77.1 million goal to fund the expansion, Shepherd said, which has also received $15 million from the Kentucky General Assembly.
Financial support includes $5 million from Metro Louisville, an additional $5 million allocated in Mayor Craig Greenberg's most recent budget, the Gheens Foundation, the Friends of the Louisville Zoo, members of the Louisville Zoo Foundation board and other private donors.

TRUMP INITIATIVES
1) OPEC's end— a Trump miracle? 2) Trump issues strategy statement to counter terrorists
Excerpt: OPEC’s stranglehold on the global economy is finally coming apart at the seams — thanks in large part to President Trump’s efforts at home and abroad — and the result will be freer markets, long-term lower energy price and less debt slavery for developing nations.
On Tuesday, the United Arab Emirates, long frustrated with OPEC’s limits on its oil production, declared its intent to leave the consortium within days to be free to meet consumer demand for energy on its own terms.
Excerpt: In addition to cartels and Islamist terror groups, our national CT activities will also prioritize the rapid identification and neutralization of violent secular political groups whose ideology is anti-American, radically pro-transgender, and anarchist. We will use all the tools constitutionally available to us to map them at home, identify their membership, map their ties to international organizations like Antifa, and use law enforcement tools to cripple them operationally before they can maim or kill the innocent. We will do the same with the state sponsors of such groups and those governments undertaking lethal plots on U.S. soil or against Americans anywhere.
