I don't know; I think Louisville is a city that would accept that. The people that would be against that law live in the surrounding counties anyway. I know when I was younger and my dad worked in Louisville we lived in Oldham county, which wouldn't even think about passing a law like that. Up until a few years ago Louisville didn't have that many people, they had to expand the city to take up the entire county so they could have more people than Lexington :)
