Teachers in Kentucky are not very happy right now. On Friday, thousands of them gathered at the state's capitol in order to rally for more funding for education and protest a pension reform bill meant to save Kentucky residents some tax money. The bill cut 33% from the annual cost of living increases in pensions of retired teachers, at a time when the the state's pension fund already only has about a 1/3 of the money it needs to pay out pensions to state employees. Teachers don't get social security, so this is all they have to live on when they retire.
