Ray McLennan, Chairman of the Paducah Power System Board, stepped down Monday at their Board of Directors meeting.

The resignation came at the request of the Paducah City Commission, telling McLennan in a letter, saying, "We believe that a change in leadership is in the best interest of the ratepayers of Paducah." (see photo of letter)

McLennan's post will be filled by Vice Chair Hardy Roberts, who was named interim chairman.

The board met to discuss their high rates at the request of Paducah Mayor Gayle Kaler, The Paducah Area Chamber of Commerce, and others. They took comments from the public after they handled board issues, with ratepayers complaining about their extremely high electric bills.

The utility's rates are currently the highest in the state, partly because of the high start-up cost of the Prairie State Energy Campus in Illinois, which ran way over its projected budget.

The current Board of Directors on Paducah Power's website includes:

Chair                               Ray McLennan (resigned)

Vice Chair                        Hardy Roberts (now Interim Chair)

Member                           Mark Workman Member

Adolphus Jones, Jr. Attorney                         

Kent Price, McMurry and Livingston PLLC
