Fourth Calloway County Courthouse in Murray, Kentucky built in 1913. The Falls Construction Company of Louisville built the courthouse at a cost of $49,679 and was finished in just 200 days. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986. I have seen photos of a Confederate Memorial with Robert E. Lee located on the northeast corner and can only assume this view did not depict the statute. Anyone answer?

276. Sovereign immunity waived on employment contract with university
University of Louisville vs. Mark Rothstein
Court of Appeals Published Opinion affirming Franklin Cir Ct affirming summary judgment that sovereign immunity not apply to professor contract
The sole issue to be decided in this appeal is whether U of L enjoys sovereign immunity shielding it from suits related to employment contracts or if the waiver of immunity contained in the Kentucky Model Procurement Code (KMPC)1 for actions brought on written contracts is applicable to employment contracts. After careful consideration, we concluded “the Supreme Court applied the statute as a waiver of sovereign immunity in all contract actions against the Commonwealth and not only those subject to the Model Procurement Code.” Id. at 762 (emphasis added). Contrary to U of L’s vehement protestations and its lengthy semantic and public policy arguments, our holding in Samaritan Alliance would clearly extend to employment contracts. The Legislature’s enactment of KRS 45A.245 plainly constitutes an unqualified waiver of sovereign immunity on all written contracts with the Commonwealth—including employment contracts.
280. Juveniles. Status Offender. Habitual truants. Jurisdiction.
