Tree falls onto artwork it inspired in Lexington

LEXINGTON, Ky. A large tree fell in Lexington onto a sculpture being erected to honor it.

The Lexington Herald-Leader reported the big bur oak snapped during a storm Friday afternoon and a piece of it crashed onto part of the structure being erected at the Lexington Art League's Loudoun House.

Kansas artist Matt Burke and others who were setting up the art work were on a lunch break when it happened.

The piece -- titled Nexus: Toward New Land Art -- consists of pieces of wood woven into spheres and tubes. Burke said the old tree inspired his sculpture.

Official says it isn't his job to be neutral

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- An Ohio official who's accused of favoring unions says his job description doesn't prohibit him from being biased.

Ohio School Facilities Commission director Richard Murray says the state watchdog was wrong when he called for Murray to be neutral with unions.

The inspector general's report says Murray backed a $37 million labor agreement that would pay a union to which Murray still belongs.

Murray says he never twisted school officials' arms to get them to contract with union labor like the report claims.

Paul says Obama and Pelosi disregard Ky.

HINDMAN, Ky. -- Republican U.S. Senate candidate Rand Paul has told coal supporters President Barack Obama is showing a lack of concern for Kentucky by unleashing federal regulators on the mining industry.

Paul made a campaign swing through eastern Kentucky on Saturday, stopping at a coal appreciation rally in Knott County.

He told the crowd that Obama is stifling coal permitting, costing people their jobs, by "forcing the EPA down our throat."

The Republican never mentioned his opponent for the Senate seat, Democratic state Attorney General Jack Conway, instead aiming his attacks at Obama and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, saying they were showing no concern for Kentucky and its coal sector.
