“But at least half if not more than half of the total amount, $3 million, will be going to the
Office of Public Health and Safety to help with juvenile justice, with domestic violence, with conflict resolution, a lot of the challenges that too often are generating or serving as the genesis of these instances of gun violence, and so hopefully those types of investments will pay dividends over the long run,” the Democrat mayor said.
The funding for these programs has not been approved by the City-County Council, which next meets Monday. The council has yet
to post online an agenda for that meeting. The council’s Public Safety Committee gave the proposal a go-ahead for approval in June.
