A private attorney for over 30 years specializing in civil rights, criminal and employment law, Bill was elected to Louisville's Board of Aldermen in 1999, serving four years. Bill coordinates our political action work. “Learning from my wife, Pat, a JCTA member for over 35 years, I know that JCTA is the reason public teachers in Jefferson County have good salaries, excellent health benefits and a secure pension program. A growing and active membership along with strong leadership, makes JCTA a leader in the state labor and teachers movement and a political force state-wide. I enjoy helping teachers and being able to influence the political process in a progressive direction.”
