As many have recognized, #SB151 does NOT affect current retired teachers. Our legislators listened to the concerns of the constituents. Period.

Being told the cap on the number of sick days that can be used to calculate retirement benefits violates the invioable contract? According to Beshear appointed TRS Exec. Director, Beau Barnes, it is NOT a violation. See for yourself! https://trs.ky.gov/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/20150731_MeetingNotes.pdf …

So @AndyBeshearKY can go ahead with a political lawsuit AGAIN, but even his dad's own KTRS appointee disagrees. https://trs.ky.gov/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/20150731_MeetingNotes.pdf …

So while you're spreading lies for political gain, we'd like to get back to educating folks on this important piece of legislation that affects us all.

Want the truth - Take a look at this piece from @KYWhitney. https://whitneyhwesterfield.com/blog/pensionreform …

.@KYWhitney: “Senate Bill 151 does not change, reduce, or remove cost-of-living adjustments (COLAs) for retired teachers, and no public employee is forced into a 401(k)-style plan. Teachers are not required to stay in the classroom any longer before they can retire.”

.@KYWhitney: “no teacher will ever lose a sick day and he or she will not be forced to retire to use their existing sick days for retirement. Teachers will still be able to cash-in sick days earned after January 1, 2019 at retirement and receive a check for them.”
