Wondering how to edit this U.S. County Entry?
The WikiProject U.S. Counties standards might help.
[edit] Merge with Lexington-Fayette, Kentucky?
Should this article be merged with Lexington-Fayette, Kentucky? --Robby 04:13, 18 October 2005 (UTC)
No. Robby I think they should remain seperate. Fayette county has a distinct history. Also, counties are thought of in differently than cities by government and non-government organizations. For example, Fayette County Board of Education is not part of the Lexington-Fayette Urban County Government. In KY, most people in ID by county rather than city. For this cultural reasons, I think we should keep Fayette County. --FloNight 17:18, 3 March 2006 (UTC)
NO: due to reasons stated above --Moreau36 09:20, 9 July 2006 (UTC)
I'll say No as well. Separate history, and it has some distinct offices and operations. Stevie is the man! Talk • Work 23:09, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Lexington
Changed to Lexington. That is the name of the city, not Lexington-Fayette. The city-county merger has to do with the way the local government is run and classified by the state. The city of Lexington and and Fayette County still exist in other ways. --FloNight 12:42, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
Additionally, there are certain constitutional offices mandated by the state that exist within Fayette County, such as fiscal court, constsable, magistrate. There is still even "County Commissioners" that have the unique role of doling out state dollars for the non-urban county roads within the territory. That function is not handled by the urban county council.
