The thing is this is just the start. This isn’t about just pensions. It’s about how things work in this state. Education has been cut about 2 billion dollars over the last 10 years. All we know how to do in this state is cut services. We’d rather cut services than expand. We’d rather social workers have double case loads than make companies pay their share. In some counties the school system is the biggest employer. Why would you want this group to hurt? I hate to tell you but rural Kentucky can’t take much more.
