RH Jones re: Lloyd Knudsen's speech

To all:
The following is my personal thoughts on Lloyd Knudsen's terrific speech to the STRS Board yesterday. It is especially timely when yesterday's Cleveland news mentioned another public school teacher severely assaulted and hospitalized while on the job.

Lloyd,
WOW! What a wonderful speech.
In regard to those state politicians who, as you said, interfered in our Sudan investments, demanded we Buy Ohio, siphoned money from public schools to give to private schools, and who are trying to kill HB 315 (The employer/employee retired teacher health care increase.) I would like them to them to know: we shall NOT forget. A primary election is coming in March. They will soon find out what Tom Jefferson, 1747-1826, once said: "The boisterous sea of liberty is never without a wave". We are boisterously, through the modern internet, following how they stood on each issue. And waves of us are, and will, let the active/retired teachers know of their negative assaults toward public education and retired teacher health care.
Thanks again Lloyd Knudsen.
