    The Kentucky House majority leader wrote a bill to cut teachers' pensions. A teacher just beat him at the polls. http://bit.ly/2GNukaD pic.twitter.com/4UKaZvnHgR

        Legislators don’t want teachers to earn a living wage & support their families while they dedicate long careers to our nation’s children. Legislators don’t want teachers to have a pension upon retirement after long careers to our nation’s children. Teachers = No Value? SHAMEonUS!

        Meanwhile, those same legislators get premium health benefits & lifetime pension payouts after serving 4 to 6 yrs. Why should they get Cadillac benefits without serving the public a minimum 20-25 years? Time to reform THEIR benefit plans.

        Not how the Founding Fathers thought it would turn out. They wanted to end tyranny & fought against taxation without representation yet here we are again in 2018 fighting those same battles.

        Why. Kentucky House majority " leader" doesn't cut his own pension?

        Liberal news outlets are always lying and misleading. The bill is for future teachers and changes have to be made because states and local governments have huge unfunded pension liabilities.
