OEA pay...is the cart before the horse?

From John Curry, March 27, 2009

Mr. Mahoney,

As a "spokesperson" for the Ohio Educaton Association, maybe you can "speak" to the thousands of OEA affiliated educators in this state and tell them why the median salary of an OEA administrative secretary is almost $3,000 more than the average salary of an Ohio teacher who is now required to hold a Masters Degree to teach in Ohio's schools. I will be awaiting your answer.
