OEA Educator Lobby Day, March 11, 2008

OEA is sponsoring an Educator Lobby Day on March 11 to address several issues important to teachers. At the top of the list is HB 315, which OEA supports:

"This legislation would create a dedicated revenue stream for funding health care benefits for current and future STRS retirees. The bill would increase contributions for employees and employers by 2.5% of salary, phased in over five years. This legislation is supported by the Health Care Advocates for STRS, a coalition of employee, employer and retiree groups."
