Beshear Urged To Disclose Pension Payments
- {Frankfort, Kentucky}...Taxpayers United of America vice president Christina Tobin, delivered a letter to Governor Steve Beshear's office Monday urging him to disclose pension payments being made to state government retirees. Tobin said her group calculated pension payments for many of the state's highest paid employees and found that many could be pulling down more than $100,000 a year in retirement. Tobin says Kentucky is one of the nation's most secretive states when it comes to pension payments to retirees, and Kentuckians have a right to know how much money retirees are getting.
