Molly J., Jim K.: Time for cleaning house -- at the ballot box

From Molly Janczyk, May 30, 2006
Subject: Educators:This is how some legislators feel about your retirement- Mr. Wachtmann
We have already requested that OEA put out a list education minded legislators who value improving school funding and helping educators realize a decent retirement for public service. Many of those private pay employees Mr Wachtmann refers to have many more benefits and higher salaries throughout their careers. I doubt Mr Wachtman endures the rigors or the future educators do or he would not make such an unfeeling statement of retirees-many of whom have lost homes and their financial security.
Ask your legislator WHAT ARE YOU WILLING TO DO AND WHAT HAVE YOU DONE FOR PROPERLY FUNDING EDUCATION IN OHIO AND FOR SECURING EDUCATORS' RETIREMENTS?
VOTE FOR YOUR FUTURE!
DO THE RESEARCH : DON'T RELY ON EMPTY PROMISES! IF THEY HAVEN'T DONE ANYTHING YET: CHANCES THEY WON'T!
LOOK AT RECORDS FOR VOTES IN PERTINENT AREAS!

We need to clean house in November! No one party should EVER have such control of a state for so long. To paraphrase Mr. W. Churchill, "Never has so little been done for so few causing so much blood sweat and tears". (Sorry Mr Churchill but it has to be said!) Now that's ONE "W" I do respect!
