CORE E-mail Alert: STRS Board Appointment
From John Curry, December 16, 2006
Subject: *CORE EMAIL ALERT* -- December 16, 2006 --STRS Board Appointment
According to SB 133, the President of the Ohio Senate and the Speaker of the Ohio House make an appointment to the STRS Board. Their first appointee, Geoffrey Meyers, resigned recently. Thus, these two men will be considering another appointee very soon to take Meyer's place. CORE is recommending that these men appoint Dr. Tom Hall whose credentials follow. Dr. Hall will represent the STRS membership with more experience and knowledge in business practices and finance than others who have been elected to the Board. His outstanding qualifications are listed below. Dr. Hall is a contributing member to the STRS so he has a personal interest in ensuring that the pension fund remains solvent. STRS unfunded liability is at a very dangerous level. We need this man's expertise on the STRS Board.We hope that all CORE members will write John Husted, the Speaker of the Ohio House and William Harris, the President of the Ohio Senate to encourage their support for Dr. Hall. You may email them or write them or make a phone call. We encourage a personal handwritten letter as one which will receive the most attention however. The send information for both men is listed immediately below:
