A couple of weeks I posted about the unraveling of Ernie Fletchers Blue Ribbon Pension Commission, the Courier-Journal has made this the lead story in their Kentucky-Metro Section.
Recommendations by a blue-ribbon commission studying the state's pension crisis may be delayed because of controversy over an attorney being paid $550 an hour to help find solutions, officials say……
Chairman John Farris has resigned as finance and administration secretary, and commission member Brad Cowgill is leaving as state budget director to become interim president of the Council on Postsecondary Education.
The hurdles have some members questioning whether the commission can be successful.
I do think the C-J did kind of miss the point with the lead. The Kentucky Retirement System routinely spends $522,000 a year on legal fees.
