Not blaming bevin for money being spent. Can't just blame dems either, this is an issue that has been going on for along time. Its both parties fault, they haven't been properly funding the pension system for a long time, and have borrowed from it without paying it back goes back years. Both parties are trash I've seen bad from both parties for a long time working for the state. Bevin will get re-elected simply because there is more non state workers than there are state workers. Non state workers will be glad he is fixing the pension fund that's billions in the hole without raising their taxes by shorting the ones that was promised x amount. Then after he is re-elected the non state workers are free game for taxes being raised since you can only do 2 terms and he won't need your vote anymore. Both parties suck. Supposed to get a 5 percent raise every year went 8 years with no raise. Both parties dont honer their promises. Dems are worse about not giving raises, and republicans are a bigger threat to state workers jobs and retirement. Repubs like to threaten privatizing was that way under fletcher, and same now. Both parties need to be put on a river boat and sent down the mississippi to Mexico. I affiliate with neither party.

I agree with every thing you said. State and federal it’s all the same they waste so much money and then when someone wants to cut one budget to waste it somewhere else it’s just hand out to handout. But in saying that I think cutting teachers pension is not right these people have work for what they are supposed to receive, I am not a teacher by the way but I did pay social security all my working days but the federal have just about drained it and there will be changes to it eventually.
