OEA, You forgot something!

From John Curry, February 1, 2011
The OEA forgot to mention one "fact" in their memo (OEA Retirement Systems Update of 1/27/2011) to their OEA members....the fact that there were both an OEA and an OFT endorsed STRS board member (and also each an active educator) who did not vote like blind sheep against the latest STRS pension reform measure passed by the STRS board last week in the 7-3 vote of approval of STRS's most recent recommendation to the Ohio legislature.
Who were these active teacher members who thought for not only themselves but the betterment of ALL STRS stakeholders (translated....not just active educators)? I commend them for not being selfish and looking out for others besides themselves. Maybe, one of these days, the OEA will realize that the whole world doesn't rotate around their position re: the direction that the STRS retirement board should be taking for ALL STRS stakeholders.
