The opinion
Opinion by
Chief Justice LAMBERT,
concurring in part and dissenting in part.
I concur with the Opinion of the Court except as to its conclusion that the Board of Claims does not have jurisdiction over Lexington-Fayette Urban County Government (LFUCG). My views were fully expressed in the dissent in Commonwealth, Board of Claims v. Harris, Ky., 59 S.W.3d 896 (2001), and I reiterate those views here.
