Duke and Jane Snider to Kevin Boyce: Please appoint Dr. Leone to the STRS Board

From "Duke" and Jane Snider, July 12, 2009
Subject: You'll be proud

Treasurer Kevin Boyce,

My wife and I understand that the STRS Board has a vacant seat (your office). Since Dr. Dennis Leone has the education and experience by sitting on the board, we believe the only logical choice to fill this seat is Dr. Dennis Leone. He has uncovered so many undesirable decisions, and unpleasant actions by former board members which resulted in approx. six being indicted. The present board is stubborn and want to reduce STRS retirees 3% COLA to 1-1/2 % for those age 65 and older. Now for some reason or other, they want to reduce the 3% COLA to 2%; however, STRS Employees have been given ridiculous bonuses. Dr. Leone is the only STRS board member who will stand up for what is right for the retirees and active teachers. I could go on and on about the fantastic job Dr. Leone has done, but he sure has made some people mad, because of what he has uncovered etc.

Please appoint Dr. Leone to the STRS Board. He's a people person. You'll be proud of the job he will do representing your office, and so will thousands of STRS retirees.
