Show us your plan: Tom Cooper to John Brandt

Mr. Brandt;

You are correct. Planning is a very important part of our own welfare. I would like to know exactly when it was that you announced the osbs plan to fund your re-hiring on the backs of the retirees whom you now insult, so that they would have time to plan for their own welfare? I would like to examine in the published document, just how much time current retirees had after osba made their policy to fund their scheme, that Ohio teachers and retirees had to plan for? There is absolutely no way that the osba did not know in advance that their scheme to make life difficult for those who spent their lives serving the taxpayers, which you claim to represent, without knowing that STRS would and retirees would have to bear the cost of your scheme, with NO time to plan or prepare.

The fact is, Mr. Brandt, the real problem is arrogant people like you who scheme to make others pay for their programs to promote their own political and fnancial power. One has to wonder what benefits and laughter was exchanged behind closed doors when your "plans" to rip off the system for your own political and financial promotion, and cut people whoserved YOU and taxpayers off at the knees.

Since you are an expert on planning, how about explaining that plan, and when it was presented in a way to suit ALL of society?
