Courier-Journal: Judge sides with Fletcher on Murray regents
A Franklin Circuit judge has dismissed a lawsuit seeking to block Gov. Ernie Fletcher’s appointment to the Murray State University board of regents.
Judge Tom Wingate agreed with Fletcher that he has the right to reject nominees submitted to him by the Postsecondary Education Nominating Committee.
Earlier this year Fletcher rejected two lists of nominees to the Murray board, but eventually appointed appeals court judge Jeff Taylor from a third list. The lawsuit was brought by the three nominees originally submitted by the nominating committee.
