Protests greet evaluators at site (Lexington Herald-Leader)

SOMERSET –Opponents of a proposed huge biological-research facility didn’t get to meet with officials evaluating a Kentucky site for the lab, but gave them an earful nonetheless.

More than 50 people — many wearing bright yellow T-shirts that read “No Kentucky Bio Lab” — gathered yesterday near the site proposed for the lab in Pulaski County to show they oppose the proposal. They waved signs as officials drove down a narrow road to the potential lab spot, then stood in an adjacent field and yelled protests as a federal team evaluated the site.
