London Mayor Randall Weddle Back in Office
A court ruled the city council lacked sufficient grounds to remove Mayor Weddle, overturning his impeachment after 11 misconduct accusations, restoring him to office.
- On Monday, the Laurel Circuit Court reinstated Mayor Randall Weddle, ruling the London City Council lacked sufficient grounds and restoring him effective immediately.
- The London City Council voted on September 5 to impeach and remove Randall Weddle, Mayor, citing 11 misconduct counts earlier this month including failing to appoint a housing authority board.
- The court found the council failed to present sufficient grounds under state law, and Weddle sued both in his individual and official capacities to challenge his removal.
- Weddle urged unity, saying `I want to put this behind us and just move the city forward, you know, that we're here to do a job and that's what I want to do`, as London residents offered mixed reactions, including Emily Campbell's support.
- The London City Council filed a notice of appeal, moving the dispute to a higher court, while the Kentucky Lantern reported Weddle's family and employees gave over $300,000 to Gov. Andy Beshear's campaign.
