Task Force on Pension Reform http://wkyufm.org en Beshear Unsure on Bonding to Shore Up Pension System http://wkyufm.org/post/beshear-unsure-bonding-shore-pension-system <p>Gov. Steve Beshear says he hasn't reached a conclusion on whether Kentucky should borrow enough money through the sale of government bonds to shore up the pension systems for state and local employees. The state employee retirement plan faces a $19 billion shortfall. Add to that the financial woes in plans covering local government employees, state police, teachers, lawmakers, judges and other court workers, and the shortfall reaches $30 billion.
