RH Jones and Meredythe Flynn: Some words of appreciation for CORE

To our CORE,

At least somebody out there likes us and what we are doing to try to save our COLA from those who are working so terribly hard to take 1% from us. Retired educators have given up enough already. It's now time that others "paid the piper', not us retired STRS members, especially the eldest ones.

God bless all CORE members and keep up the fight. Retired educators must be treated fairly. Since Enron, we have needed strong representation from our unions with the exception of CORE, we didn't have it. Had we a strong representation, there would not have been a need to create CORE in the first place.

Mr. Jones,

I and others similarly situated thank you for all that you do to more us forward toward being vocal about retirement situations currently being considered. None of us knows exactly what will be, no crystal balls for sale these days, but you are right about the brave men and women in CORE.

Cheers, blessings,
Meredythe Flynn
