Hoover: Special session to deal with troubled pension system coming in October

LOUISVILLE — Lawmakers will take a long look at the public pension systems in October during a special session, House Speaker Jeff Hoover said Thursday.

Hoover addressed reporters prior to the 54th annual Kentucky Farm Bureau Country Ham Break at the Kentucky State Fair.

Only Gov. Matt Bevin can call for the special session and it comes at a cost of about $60,000 per day.
