Shirlee Zerkel: Letter to Bill Sears

From Shirley Zerkel, October 13, 2010

Dear Mr. Sears:

How dare you ask me to contact the STRS board members and request them to do it your way. I feel this way because OEA-R and ORTA have just let those already retired be punched over and over again while the OEA, OEA-R and ORTA have in the past and are still jumping in there to help the actives. On your plan, the retiree is hit immediately and your requests are for the present active and allowing them time to prepare. Where is our time to prepare? We have no way of preparing for such a hit now or in the future.

A life member of OEA and OEA-R and am sorry I am,

Shirlee Zerkel
