City of Lebanon, Kentucky v. Elinor B. Goodin

Summary

The Kentucky Supreme Court reversed the Court of Appeals and remanded, holding that the City of Lebanon's annexation was valid because Kentucky law requires only that annexed territory be adjacent or contiguous, not that its boundaries be "natural or regular," and because the annexation did not violate Section 2 of the Kentucky Constitution. Justice Scott dissented, arguing the irregular boundaries were unconstitutional and the annexation should be void.
