John Curry to Kevin Boyce re: Appointment to STRS Board

From John Curry, October 4, 2009
Mr. Boyce,

I am writing to ask that you appoint a person to the open seat on the Ohio State Teachers Retirement Board. You took office this year and, at that time, this seat was vacant. Nine months later and 140,000 retirees of STRS are still waiting.

Many of these retirees are informed and will also consider your name for reelection in 2010. Don't let us down. When you took office on Jan. 6 of this year, Governor Strickland said of you," As state treasurer, Kevin will provide effective and experienced management over our state dollars and also give Ohioans the financial literacy they need to deal with these challenging times." Kevin....we benefits recipients of STRS are in dire need of a board member who will also provide effective and experienced management over "our dollars" while, at the same time, giving us financial literacy that we need after losing billions of dollars of our investments. Mr. Boyce, neither of us can afford to wait any longer.

Thank you,

John Curry
