The Politics of City-County Merger: The Lexington-Fayette County Experience - Paperback
by W. E. Lyons (Author)
Although city-county consolidation has been urged for years as a solution for many urban problems, relatively few communities have come to the point of offering such an option to the voters and in most of the communities that have done so, the voters have rejected the idea. In 1972 the voters of Lexington and Fayette County, Kentucky, approved consolidation by a better than two-to- one margin. W. E. Lyons examines this victory for consolidation, comparing the Lexington setting with other places

He served as chairman of the Lexington-Fayette County Merger Commission, the body that drafted the charter for the new consolidated government.
