The City of Paducah in partnership with Kentucky League of Cities (KLC) celebrated City Government Month in September by inviting local elementary students to draw pictures or write letters to Mayor George Bray. This celebration recognizes the important role cities play in building Kentucky’s economy and improving the quality of life for citizens.
