"Teachers from numerous Kentucky school districts are preparing to rally at the state capitol Wednesday to protect their pensions against proposed cuts, just one week after Kentucky Gov. Matt Bevin (R) blasted them as “selfish” and “ignorant.”
Several Eastern Kentucky school districts plan to close to accommodate teachers attending the rally, which is expected to draw hundreds of public school employees to Frankfort.
Wednesday’s rally is the latest in the weeks-long fight against Senate Bill 1, a measure that would cut retired teachers’ yearly cost-of-living raises from 1.5 percent to 1 percent, an effort to save the state’s ailing pension system. The decrease would remain in effect until the Kentucky Teacher’s Retirement System is 90 percent funded and, as the Lexington Herald-Leader reports, it would result in a loss in income of more than $65,000 for the average teacher.”*
