State Not Ready For Ten Commandments Posting Yet
The state isn't ready to move forward with a proposal to place a Ten Commandments monument at the state Capitol, an attorney said Thursday. Officials haven't yet identified other historical displays or memorials to accompany the Ten Commandments monument on the Capitol lawn, said Tom Self, an attorney in the Kentucky Office of Legal Services.
The Ten Commandments monument won't be placed on the Capitol grounds until additional exhibits are donated and a federal judge approves the overall project, Self said in a document filed in U.S. District Court in Frankfort.
U.S. District Judge Joseph Hood wanted to review the state's plans before deciding whether the Ten Commandments monument should be allowed on government property.
