John Curry to Guy Sturino: A word of thanks

Guy,

Thanks for your article that appeared in the American Chronicle re. the Bernie Sanders speech on the floor of the U.S. Senate. I am a retired educator from Ohio and have been working with reforming our state teachers retirement system - a system that was riddled with ethically challenged board members and a former executive director - all of whom were convicted of Ohio ethics violations and were fined and some given public service restitution. Our retirement system (State Teachers Retirement System of Ohio) has been reforming (slowly) thanks to a former Ohio school superintendent (Dr. Dennis Leone) who "blew the whistle" on a system that formerly was the pinnacle of mismanagement, misspending, and an entitlement mentality.

Your presentation, in the Chronicle, was sent to many members of my organization, Concerned Ohio Retired Educators, and I hope they will take heed at what both you and Sen. Sanders had to say. I also see that the Senate also passed (on the same day) a bill which will effectively block importation of Rx into this country. Big Pharma's $$ did it to us again. !! Thanks for your enlightenment on this critical issue to retirees .... and ALL U.S. citizens who have been ripped off thanks to the pillmakers. Oh, if you get a chance, please visit our blog at the link below my name. Once again... thanks from the bottom of my heart.

Sincerely, John Curry
