Last week mayor pro tem Engler and I attended the National League of Cities summer conference in Louisville, KY, featuring seminars on public safety, energy and the environment, and maintaining civility in divisive times. Here I join city leaders from around the country on a tour of the Louisville Water Co., which has 100+ years of disaster recovery experience.
These conferences aren’t just educational; they also help connect us with tens of millions in grant funding. And by banding together, NLC member cities successfully lobby for federal legislation that protects our interests (for example, by shielding cities from liability for PFAS/PFOS “forever chemicals” dumped by others).
Many thanks to all at Louisville Metro for being such great hosts!

For the even bigger picture around US climate litigation news, we recommend The White House Effect.
Using exclusively archival material, this film tells the dramatic origin story of the climate crisis and how a political battle in the George H.W. Bush administration changed the course of history. As the world prepares for the Rio Earth Summit in 1992, President George H.W. Bush faces mounting pressure to make a decision that will change the course of history—culminating in the U.S. undermining a global agreement to set hard limits on emissions, setting the stage for the increasingly hot, dangerous, and polarized future we all now face.
