YOUR LETTERS AND CALLS URGENTLY NEEDED NOW TO APPOINT TOM HALL TO STRS BOARD

Your letters and calls are urgently need NOW to help get investment expert Prof. Tom Hall appointed to the STRS Board (to replace Geoffrey Meyers, formerly appointed by the House Speaker and Senate President; Meyers resigned his post this month).

Tom Hall's presentation at the November 16, 2006 STRS Board meeting as one of three candidates to replace Michael Billirakis on the Board totally blew many of us away. But for reasons I will not attempt to outline here, he was not selected. Our best chance now is to get our legislators in both houses of the Ohio General Assembly to support his joint appointment by the Speaker of the House, Jon Husted, and the President of the Senate, Bill Harris.

We ALL need to contact four people to urge support for Tom Hall's appointment to the STRS Board: Husted, Harris and our respective State Representatives and State Senators. Information follows:
