FRANKFORT, Ky. (March 27, 2018) — Senate Bill 1, the controversial plan to overhaul Kentucky’s ailing pension system, is still on “life support,” according to its sponsor.
“SB 1 and the sponsor have been so vilified that it’s almost poison,” state Sen. Joe Bowen, R-Owensboro, said of his proposal.
Bowen’s former business, Bowen Tire and Auto Service, has been picketed over the bill, and he’s gotten many emails, phone calls and in-person diatribes accusing him of trying to steal teachers’ pensions. For more on this story, go to Kentucky.com, the Herald-Leader’s website.
