| Court: | KY Court of Appeals |
| Facts: | Julius Burns got lead poisoning from growing up in the housing authoritys complex. |
| Posture: | Appeal from judgment with $3M punitives |
| Issue: | Are punitives allowed here? |
| Holding: | No. |
| Rule: | It's a non-profit, so any costs it gets will either kill it or be passed on to the taxpayer. |
| Reasoning: | We couldn't increase rent in order to pay for this, and so the burden would just be on the taxpayers. And that would be no punishment for the agency. |
