A former Woodridge student in the legislature opposing HB 152

From Lloyd Knudsen, May 14, 2007
Subject: Fw: House Bill 152

Core members,
One of my fellow teachers from Woodridge (John Kane) sent this message about HB 152 to Kevin Coughlin. Kevin is a former Woodridge student. I don't think we have to worry about it passing.

Mr. Kane,
Thanks for the email. If HB 152 passes the House, it will come before the committee I chair in the Senate. I will not support a bill that compromises the integrity of the pension system.
Last session, there was an attempt made to amend this bill into another one at the last minute. I did not sign off on it and the effort did not succeed. In addition, I do not believe that the Ohio Retirement Study Committee has done an analysis on the bill yet.
Good to hear from you,
Kevin Coughlin

Kevin: Please do what you can to help your retired teachers out to stop this particular piece of legislation which would clearly negatively impact the retired teachers in Ohio. Why are they just targeting STRS and SERS and not the public pension funds in Ohio. Thanks in advance for your effort to look out for your supporters from Woodridge.
