John Curry to Lara Baker re: STRS Board members prosecution

From John Curry, Sept. 1, 2006

Ms. Lara Baker,

Ms, Baker, I wish to commend you and your staff for the dedication you have provided toward the furtherance of justice in your past successful prosecutions against Herb Dyer, Jack Chapman, and Hazel Sidaway. I also wish to commend you re. your current mission of prosecuting Eugene Norris, Michael Billirakis, Joe Endry, and Deb Scott.

I do wish to add that the Franklin County Muni Court has inadvertently misspelled the name of Billirakis in their entry in the system - and because of this, those who wish public access to his public folder on this website aren't able to obtain it.

All of my fellow STRS retirees are suffering and those with spouses are seeing healthcare insurance rates eight times higher than those of the public system that you will retire in. Current health care premiums in excess of $700 monthly are driving some STRS retirees to the poor house at a record breaking speed. Maybe if the misdeeds of some at STRS were reported to you several years earlier we would not be in these dire straights. I would like to think so. In any event, once again, you are owed a debt of gratitude and praise from this retiree.

Sincerely,

John Curry - an STRS retiree.
