The sexual harassment scandal plaguing the Kentucky House is a stain on the state that’s distracted legislators from working on pension reform, Gov Matt Bevin said Monday.

Taking questions from reporters after a ceremony in the Capitol Rotunda, Bevin said it’s important to finish pension reform soon. Bevin added that he wants pension reform to occur during a special session but that the House’s sexual harassment scandal has interfered with his plans. Meanwhile, a majority of Republicans in the House recently signed a letter asking Bevin to hold off on calling a special session in 2017.
