McCracken Official Opens Up about County/City Lawsuit

Published: Jan. 28, 2011, 5 a.m.

McCracken County's Fiscal Court voted Monday to sue the city of Paducah over annexation of a hundred-plus acres of Paducah Power and Tennessee Valley Authority property along Schneidman Road. In a phone conversation, County Commissioner Jerry Beyer says the city's land grab is illegal because it wasn't adjacent to the city's boundaries. Instead, he says, it's corridor annexation' because it included a narrow strip of Paducah & Louisville Railway right of way.
