The Kentucky Democratic Party says pension reform shouldn’t come from a demand letter by wealthy Republican activists. The Lexington Herald-Leader first reported that in the letter to members of the General Assembly, the state GOP chairman said any pension changes must include moving future teachers and state workers from a defined benefits system to a defined contribution plan. The letter was also signed by national anti-tax activist Grover Norquist and Bill Samuels, Jr., chairman emeritus of Makers Mark, among others.
