FRANKFORT, Ky. (May 3, 2019) – Following meetings this week with Gov. Matt Bevin's legislative team, presidents from Kentucky universities and representatives from quasi agencies voiced support for a proposal to provide financial relief to the Commonwealth's quasi government entities. The proposal creates options for these organizations to meet increasing pension obligations while also continuing to provide essential public services to Kentuckians.
“Over the last several days, our team met with Kentucky’s quasi agencies and universities to present a proposal for addressing the growing financial burden created by Kentucky’s looming pension crisis," said Gov. Bevin. "I appreciate the support these groups have offered for our proposal. We must now act decisively to provide them with needed financial relief and to ensure their future ability to provide essential public services.”
