May 27, 201511 yr Morgan County and Lexington company battling over $1 million bill for equipment used after tornado leveled town | Politics and Government | Kentucky.com WEST LIBERTY — Cash-strapped Morgan County is being sued for nearly $1 million by Emergency Disaster Services, a Lexington company from which it rented trailers, generators, all-terrain vehicles and other equipment after a March 2012 tornado leveled this place and killed a half-dozen people. In its response, Morgan County accuses EDS — owned by Jerry Lundergan, a past chairman of the Kentucky Democratic Party and father of Secretary of State Alison Lundergan Grimes — of "price-gouging." The county says Lundergan entered into a questionable deal with Tim Conley, then the county's judge-executive, who is now serving seven years in federal prison for an unrelated bribery scheme. All records related to the EDS deal have been seized by FBI agents and are being held as evidence in their investigation of Conley's tenure, the county says in court filings. Article paints this as common practice as they seem to have come under investigation for charges from Hurricanes Katrina and Sandy operations also.
