Kentucky
| Kentucky owes more than it owns. |
| Kentucky has a -$11,500 Taxpayer Burden.™ |
| Kentucky is a Sinkhole State without enough assets to cover its debt. |
| Elected officials have created a Taxpayer Burden™, which is each taxpayer's share of state bills after its available assets have been tapped. |
| TIA's Taxpayer Burden™ measurement incorporates both assets and liabilities, not just pension debt. |
| Kentucky only has $25.9 billion of assets available to pay bills totaling $41.6 billion. |
| Because Kentucky doesn't have enough money to pay its bills, it has a -$15.7 billion financial hole. To fill it, each Kentucky taxpayer would have to send -$11,500 to the state. |
| Kentucky's reported net position is overstated by $2.5 billion, largely because the state delays recognizing losses incurred when the net pension liability increases. |
| The state's financial report was released 208 days after its fiscal year end, which is considered untimely according to the 180 day standard. |
