According to the study, there were 5,999 homeless in 2009 compared to 6,623 people in 2010." [Bluegrass Politics]

The 31-year-old Pan-African Studies professor is the youngest member of the council and is also an adjunct instructor at Spalding University and Jefferson County Technical College. After the vote was announced, Hollowell, who was in attendance earlier that night, drove to City Hall and was immediately sworn in by Chief Circuit Court Judge Barry Willett." [LEO Weekly]
