Problem getting a response from the ORSC

Subject: Problem getting a response from the ORSC

Dear Mr. Goodman,

As a retired teacher, I am very much concerned that another retiree, John Curry, has made repeated requests to Aristotle Hutras, director of the Ohio Retirement Studies Council, for information pertaining to a study which the ORSC commissioned several years ago by the Independent Fiduciary Services of Washington, D.C. This was to be a study of the Ohio Police and Fire Retirement System and the State Teachers Retirement System of Ohio.

Mr. Curry has not seen the results of the study posted anywhere, nor have I or anyone I know. It is very distressing to think that the ORSC office is not responding to Mr. Curry's e-mails, let alone making this information available to him to share with retirees, most notably the members of CORE (Concerned Ohio Retired Educators), an active statewide organization which make it its business to know what is happening at organizations such as STRS and the ORSC.

If you can help us get this information from Mr. Hutras and/or the ORSC, many retired educators around the state would be most grateful. The e-mail address we have for them (provided on their website http://www.orsc.org/) is: info@orsc.org.

I will paste Mr. Curry's messages to Mr. Hutras below this message. Thank you for any help you can give.
