Legislators Talk Past, Future of Kentucky's Pension Crunch

Kentucky's public pension system is putting a crunch on the budgets of regional universities and "quasi" state agencies. Those entities will be required to have a massive increase in their pension costs starting July 1. Some agencies say the changes will affect their services and hurt residents in Kentucky. WFPL's Ryland Barton talked with legislators and others about the pension issue. Our guests were: David McFaddin, Senior VP for Operations at Eastern Kentucky University Steve Shannon, Executive Director of Kentucky Association of Regional Programs (which represents community mental health centers) Joni Jenkins, Democratic Representative - Louisville Jerry Miller, Republican Representative - Louisville Click here to support the work we do: wfpl.org/supportinconversation
