RHJones comments on: Fw: SIX GOOD REASONS TO GET INVOLVED (ACTIVES and RETIREES)

From RH Jones, April 12, 2011

To Mario Iacone, ORTA Director Hanning and ORTA President Butts:

How can ORTA not be involved in such harmful legislation as Senate Bill 5, sponsored by Shannon Jones (R), that will cause our retired teacher moderate standard of living to plummet? Is OTRA so unenlightened as not to know of the consequences that their uninvolvement certainly has, and will cause? And, how about active teachers, and our STRs to pressure ORTA to move on this. They both have a stake in the outcome of SB 5. Is only a few of us contacting ORTA? We do need help to convince them of the importance of "kill the bill".

Thanks Mario. I am proud to forward this to those that will get involved.
