City Sues Kentucky League Of Cities

KENTUCKY...
A northern Kentucky city is suing the Kentucky League of Cities in an effort to recoup money spent by the organization on expenses, salaries and loans to employees.
The Lexington Herald-Leader reports that the city of Cold Spring filed suit against the organization in Fayette Circuit Court and wants class-action status for the lawsuit. League officials declined to comment Wednesday. Cold Spring officials said the group "wasted" taxpayer money and the suit seeks to collect on behalf of citizens. Member cities pay dues to the league for services including lobbying, financing and insurance. State Auditor Crit Luallen released a report in December, detailing high expenses, questionable bonuses and conflicts of interest at the organization. She sent the audit to Attorney General Jack Conway's office, which is investigating.
