Leadership group selects Hall of Famer
COVINGTON — William E. Wehrman Sr. is this year's inductee in the Northern Kentucky Leadership Hall of Fame.
In choosing the late Mr. Wehrman for the honor, the Northern Kentucky Leadership Foundation noted his many accomplishments.
Mr. Wehrman was Kenton County attorney from 1938 to 1945, and he was Kenton County Judge from 1945 to 1962. In those capacities, he played a major role in founding the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport with the help of his friend, Sen. Alben Barkley.
Judge Wehrman was instrumental in obtaining the initial $2 million in federal funding for construction of airport runways, and he was the person designated to present the inaugural address when the airport was dedicated.
He also established the merit system for the Kenton County Police Department, and he oversaw the expansion of the Kenton County Water District.
Judge Wehrman, while a practicing lawyer, questioned the propriety of excluding blacks from Kenton County grand juries and petit juries.
