| Citizens seek to dissolve their town
July 25, 2008: A group of petitioners angered over high taxes in their small town of Lone Oak have filed a petition that would allow citizens to vote on whether or not their town should be dissolved. Lone Oak Mayor Kimberly Stevens says a petition bearing 100 signatures was submitted to her office requesting that thc city's future be decided in the election on November 4. The petition must be reviewed prior to the August 12 deadline.
Rental property owner Hugh Roberts helped organize the petition drive, claiming Lone Oak's property tax is higher than rates in the city of Paducah and McCracken County, and that property owners get very few services for their money.[1]
