In 1967 Kentucky elected Louie Nunn Governor. By 1971 MR Nunn had seen through his promise to pass the Kentucky Pension Protection Act, The result, as of 1997 Kentucky primary state pension funds were funded at 127% and secondary pension plans were funded at 98%.

Democratic Governor Paul Patton repealed the PPA and pension funds very rapidly vaporized from that point forward. The by the time Beashear arrived the remainder of those hollowed out Kentucky pension plans were invested very questionably according to reports and viola. One gets the fine mess in which Kentucky finds herself.

Anybody mad at Democrats about all that? NOPE, not from what I have seen. They want Bevin's political head on a pike though. But in Dems defense they have been conditioned to think all that's necessary is to raise taxes. Again.

Bevin created his own problem with his language. He spent his time trying to create a tough talking Trump-like persona, but he forgot he was insulting hardworking educators of the state of Kentucky. Many of which supported his party nationally.

None of the teachers had anything to do with state investments of their pension funds, and many of them were not even in the profession or possibly out of middle school at that time. Asking them to hate democrats that mishandled their pensions is silly.
