A newly elected Lexington-Fayette Urban County councilman also has a company that was recently awarded a license as a medical marijuana processor. Hilary "Hil" Boone IV, a small-business operator and farmer defeated Chad Walker, a farmer and a developer, on Tuesday in the 12th District council race.
