John Curry: Thank you, Tom Rice and Highway Patrol Retirement System

Subject: Re: COLA cut 

Tom, 

Thank you so much for this information. My organization, CORE - Concerned Ohio Retired Educators - has also been pushing for some kind of protection for our retirees, with the lowest pensions, who can't afford to take a 1% COLA cut during their "golden years." To date, we have met with nothing but a stone wall.  Our STRS board didn't have the wisdom, desire and compassion that your board did in taking the time to care for these people. You are to be commended.
