This excerpt is from InsiderLouisville.com and covers Gov. Steve Beshear talking about pension reform:

Kentucky got severely upside-down on the retirement funds because in good economic times, state government diverted state pension contributions to other things, he said.

“You can’t point any fingers and blame any set of individuals,” he said.

Well, actually you can point the finger at one specific set of individuals - The Kentucky General Assembly. See, our state legislators are the ones who enabled the policies that led us where we are. In addition to that, they are a shining example of public pension abuse.
