Teachers from across Kentucky are rallying for their pensions outside the state capitol Monday evening. Senate Bill 1 would change the state's public employee pension plan, creating a 401(k)/pension hybrid and cutting annual cost of living increases. The bill could save taxpayers about $3.2 billion over 20 years, according to state officials. But it's drawing the ire of thousands of educators, like Campbell County Schools librarian Jill McGlone. She said she's been to the capitol three times this session.
