Judge: State funding for University of the Cumberlands unconstitutional
FRANKFORT — The Kentucky General Assembly violated the state Constitution when it appropriated $10 million to the University of the Cumberlands for a pharmacy building and $2 million for a pharmacy scholarship program at the Southern Baptist school in Williamsburg in 2006, a judge ruled Thursday.
UPDATE @ 3:09:
Jennifer responds:
“Once again, a court has determined that actions by Senator Williams violate the Kentucky Constitution. From the beginning, Democrats fought against this outrageous and blatantly self-serving appropriation by Senator Williams because it is unconstitutional.
“This is just another example of Senator Williams behaving as if he is not subject to the laws that every other citizen of the Commonwealth is subject to. Kentuckians deserve better.”
We’re not being flippant here, but, could someone please fill us in on which Democrats fought against the homo-hating and illegal handout for a church school? Was it anyone other than the usual four or five people in Frankfort who know how to think for themselves?

I have a new name, in tribute to Tim Couch.
It’s refreshing that fairness, logic, and the constitution finally prevail.
Also, stupid things like giving state money to a private school definitely has not helped the higher ed budget crisis in Kentucky.

Um, Anony, it was to protect our great Commonwealth from the gays. Unfortunately, the justice system is wrought with the homosexual agenda and the homocrats have prevailed!

I hope the “university” is required to refund all the money to the state. That would be delicious.
