Narrative:
Was departing lex on morning flight to ZZZ. Noticed controller was operating clearance; ground; and tower at the same time. During our takeoff roll he was issuing a clearance to another aircraft. Leads me to believe that nothing has been learned or changed since the events of air carrier crash at this same airport. I see this type of behavior every week from ATC controllers at many facilities.
