Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Kentucky
I quit a job with Hodgenville Water Works September 19, 2009. They are still using my photograph on their website as water plant superintendant. I've asked them repeatedly to take it down. What can I do to get my photo off their website. they listed my photo and 2 other supervisors under the banner sanitation. As this is a try at humiliation, what are my rights.

I'm not sure I understand why the use of the photograph is humiliating, exactly, if the problem is only because you are no longer employed there, but they continue to have you listed as holding the position and using your likeness in promotional materials. If you previously gave them permission to use your likeness to promote their business, you might not have recourse, depending on what you agreed. If you never gave permission, they cannot legally use your likeness in commercial promotions, such as a website. Since they clearly aren't complying with your requests to remove it, speak with a local attorney. One letter to the webmaster from an attorney will probably resolve the situation.
