The story that sparked the investigation
Last year, the Kentucky League of Cities warned that cities were on the financial brink, facing higher retirement costs and growing fiscal pressures. "Make no mistake," said League Executive Director Sylvia Lovely in a press release. "Cities are in a full-blown financial crisis." But as Kentucky cities' coffers have been depleted, the League — funded through city dues, city insurance premiums and city loan payments — has, in its own words, become "one of the largest and most successful municipal leagues in the country." The small non-profit that was formed 80 years ago to help cities is now a multimillion-dollar operation, but one with little oversight and plenty of perks for its employees.
