KY Ed Sec says even small improvement in education could solve state’s pension, budget problems

Kentucky’s Secretary of Education and Workforce Development, Hal Heiner, made a really interesting presentation to the Kentucky Board of Education today, and we think all Kentuckians should have access to those comments. Heiner says even a small improvement in the state’s educational situation could create on average a boost of 12 percent in family incomes and a whopping $20 billion in extra state revenue, enough to quickly deal with the current pension crisis and budget woes.
