Duke and Jane Snider to Conni Ramser: Time for you to leave, too

From Duke and Jane Snider, October 28, 2006

Subject: Resign

Ms Ramser,

My wife and I feel you should do the same as Mr. Meyers and resign. I heard you supposedly have been unkind and disrespectful to Dr. Dennis Leone with your remarks. If you made unprofessional remarks, then it's time for you to take a good look at yourself and step down. Do you realize Dr. Leone and Mr. John Lazares are icons to educators throughout Ohio? Do you realize we trust them, because they place ORC 3307.15 at the top of their list? Do you realize they want the retirees to be treated fairly? We were at the last STRS board meeting and I was NOT impressed with your leadership. It's time for you to give the gavel to someone else. We, retirees and active teachers, need STRS board members with the highest integrity, professionalism, caring, and follows ORC 3307.15, and hopefully the person appointed to replace Mr. Meyers will have these qualities.

Respectfully,

Duke and Jane Snider, labeled by a former board member as malcontents from southern Ohio
