MADISONVILLE-After nearly three decades of what appeared to be a smooth operation, accusations are flying back and forth in a lawsuit involving the Cora Veal Senior Center in Madisonville.

A few months after Center Director Frances Maxwell resigned her position, a group calling themselves "Members of the Monroe County Senior Citizens and Friends, Inc." filed a lawsuit claiming the center isn't being run correctly.

In the suit, the group claims, among other things, the board of directors was not elected by the Center's membership, the board has failed to give notice of annual meetings, has not accepted written applications for membership on the board, two years have elapsed since members were allowed to vote on board members and that the board has become self-perpetuating.
