You guys know I bleed blue for UK, and this is probably not going to be a popular perspective. However, it was reported in the Lexington Herald this week how much of the funding came from coal severance funds. I resent that. Our economy in the coal fields is at an all time low, and the hard working folks are forced out of the area in order to find employment to support their families.

I want and hope that UK has a tremendous facility in which to play their games and promote UK athletics; however, coal severance funds should be used as job incentives in the coal fields first and foremost.

JMO....hope that doesn't offend anyone.

This bunch in Frankfort does not care anything about the people from the mountain unless your from Pikeville or Prestonburg, For 6years that dipstick for a governor we have has tried to start casinos so he can make the Horse people richer, like they need a little more money. They have used our coal severance money to make U Pike a state school. But it we ask for something you would think we lived in a foreign country.
