He saw the same thing that you've noted, and pushed hard to explore combining Cabell and Huntington. He even brought up the administrator for Lexington-Fayette to talk to some of our legislators and the City's representatives, but it never went anywhere. I believe that the legislature, as a whole, wasn't going to take it up b/c its mainly controlled by rural delegates and senators and they don't want the cities to expand or become more powerful.
People choose to live outside of the city limits for a reason. No reason to expand city limits and force them to move.
Maybe the city should do a better job of attracting people to move in to the city.
