Question of the Day

Four Lexington Council members are not seeking re-election next year. Three of them cite needing a fulltime job and fulltime income as their reason for leaving. Is it time for Lexington to have a fulltime city council?
Yes, the city is large enough now.
No, not affordable. They would make too many laws.
