Fletcher: special session may not include pensions

Gov. Ernie Fletcher said this morning that he still wants to call a special session for some spending items and other priorities but may not put the bailout of state pension systems on the agenda.“We’re assessing which things we would put on a special session,” Fletcher said in a breakfast speech to a business group called the Lexington Forum. “I’m not ruling out calling one even before the primary at this point.”

...On Wednesday Fletcher appointed members of a task force to study the unfunded liabilities of retirement systems for state and local government workers and teachers and make recommendations by Dec. 1.
