Bevin spent four years trying to FIX the pension system and was fought all along the way by special interest groups. Beshear ran around lying that he was going to destroy their pensions and the media was all but happy to parrot those lies.
Because the teacher's pension was completely unsustainable, they screeched the loudest because any pension reform HAD to fix that situation. That's what really killed Bevin.
He wasn't an asshole. He was just honest. I remember him giving an interview where they asked about hot browns and he just flat out said he didn't like it and thought it was a little gross. Unlike politicians who would lie about something like that, claiming, "I love hot browns, basketball, Ale-8, horse racing, bourbon, oh, and I'm going to paint my lawn blue." However, I've learned over time that honesty is often confused with being an "asshole."
Sounds like your family were mad at the wrong people. Now that Herr Beshear is raiding the state treasury to enforce his illegal shutdowns, how do they think that's going to help their pensions?
