Kathie Bracy to Damon & Board: Paying WHOSE legal fees???

To Damon Asbury and the STRS Board:

After reading Dennis Leone's account of what happened at last week's Board meeting regarding Damon's requesting and the Board's approving STRS' paying the legal fees with OUR money for the STRS staff members who hired their OWN private legal council after being subpoenaed for Hazel Sidaway's trial, to say that I am extremely OUTRAGED is a gross understatement.

Whatever happened to ORC 3307.15? You people STILL don't get it!

I am calling for the resignation of Damon Asbury and every Board member except Dennis Leone and John Lazares, the ONLY two who have the brains, the character and the guts to consistently DO THE RIGHT THING for retirees! The rest of you have no business *serving* in your capacity. Your actions are a shameful disgrace (deja vu -- do I see the "old Board" here?) to the people you are SUPPOSED to serve. You need to do your constituents a favor and either shape up (retract this action -- paying those employees' legal fees) or get out. We don't need your kind managing OUR funds!!!
