FRANKFORT, Ky. -- Senate Republican leaders on Friday promised fast-track work on pension legislation, drawing support from business groups demanding action to shore up a system plagued by a massive unfunded liability they say threatens to drain money from education and economic development.
The pension bill is expected to be introduced in the Senate on Tuesday and reviewed in committee the following day. Kentucky lawmakers return to the Capitol next week to resume a 2013 regular session that will last a few more weeks.
