LMPD Chief Forms New Task Force to Address Spike in Homicides in the Metro

The snow removal ordinance and all of the others having a criminal penalty are unconstitutional according to what the Kentucky Supreme Court ruled in December. Surely the Mayor's crack team of legal eagles has advised him of this.
