Lawmakers Working On Bills to Fix KPERS Shortfall

The Kansas Public Employees Retirement System, or KPERS (KAY-pers), faces a huge challenge in the coming years. The system is projected to go 7.7 billion dollars into the red over the next 30 years. That means there won’t be enough money to pay state retirees the benefits they've been promised. As KPR’s Stephen Koranda reports, lawmakers have been working on legislation to solve that problem.


Stephen Koranda is KPR's Statehouse reporter.
