Pension bill flies through state House with zero opposition

Everything seems to be going as planned during this week's special legislative session in Frankfort, with pension legislation sailing through the House today on a 98-0 vote.

The draft legislation - agreed to by House and Senate leaders as a pre-condition for Gov. Steve Beshear's (D-Lexington) calling of the session - passed through the House's state government committee with ease on Monday.

The bill will now move to the Republican-controlled state Senate. Passage of the legislation is expected by Friday - the last scheduled day of the five-day special session.

"I don’t think, since Brown v. Board of Education, in 1954, will there be one singular moment that will make a bigger difference in race relations in this country than when on November the 4th we elect Barack Obama."

– Gov. Steve Beshear during his speech Wednesday to the state’s delegation at the Democratic National Convention.
