Some parts of Columbus are freezing...but not at STRS!

From John Curry, February 3, 2009

When Dr. Leone made a formal proposal in November to freeze wages at STRS, his motion died due to a lack of a second. Mike Nehf publicly stated, prior to Leone’s motion, that he did not support any staff at STRS receiving a wage freeze. The board then voted to refer the wage freeze question to its Salary/Benefits Committee for reconsideration. The matter, however, did not receive any discussion whatsoever at either of the committee meetings that were held in December and January.
