From the Lexington Herald-Leader: Bevin hid the financial analysis of his pension proposal. Beshear just released it.
By DANIEL DESROCHERS
Gov. Andy Beshear released a financial analysis Friday of a 2017 pension proposal that former Gov. Matt Bevin fought to keep out of the public eye.
The 65-page analysis shows that Bevin’s controversial pension overhaul plan — which sparked mass teacher protests in 2017 and contributed to Bevin’s ouster as governor — would have saved the state moneyin the short term but would have slowed the financial rebound of Kentucky’s most troubled pension system and cost the state more in the long run.
