Former members of pension board sue Gov. Bevin over their dismissal
Two members of the former Kentucky Retirement Systems Board of Trustees are suing Gov. Matt Bevin, claiming Bevin did not have the authority to remove board chairman Thomas Elliott of Jefferson County from the panel.
Elliott and board member Mary Helen Peter filed the lawsuit Friday in Franklin Circuit Court.
They are seeking a temporary injunction to block Elliott’s removal.

The case has been assigned to Franklin Circuit Judge Phillip Shepherd.
