| Jerry Abramson, the popular former mayor of Louisville, was successful
last November winning approval of a proposal consolidating the governments
of the City of Louisville and surrounding Jefferson County into a "metro-city
government."
Currently in private practice as an attorney, Abramson had been barred by term limits from succeeding himself as Louisville mayor. Now however, Abramson is considered the odds-on favorite to become the first mayor of the new super-government after elections in 2002. While he hasn't announced his candidacy yet, he hasn't been exactly coy about his interest in the job. When a friend from University of Kentucky college days, Louisville resident Harry Jacobson-Beyer, urged Abramson to run, Abramson promptly persuaded Jacobson-Beyer to volunteer in his campaign. -- Donald H.
