A new bill proposing to reform the state's pension systems was unveiled last month in the Kentucky Senate. The bill differs from the one Governor Matt Bevin proposed last year. On Sounds Good, Matt Markgraf speaks with representatives of the Calloway County Retired Teachers Association to understand some of the differences, how they affect current and retired teachers, why pension liabilities keep increasing in higher education and how the new bill could affect local economies.
Guests:
- Larry Guin, retired Murray State finance professor
- Ken Wolf, retired Murray State history professor and legislative chair of the Retired Teachers Association
- Marshall Ward, retired Calloway County High School political science/history high school teacher
Hear a similar conversation recorded last fall. This conversation pertains to the original bill, but there is discussion here about alternative suggestions and addressing tax reform.
