Letters from the Sniders to STRS retired board members Stein and McGreevy and to ORTA's Ann Hanning

From Duke and Jane Snider

January 14, 2014

Mr. Stein and Mr. McGreevy, It's also time for you to go to bat for the retirees.  Rather than repeat the email below, please read it as this also applies to you.  If you remember correctly, when you visited CORE and wanted to be on the STRS board a few years ago, you were asked about having backbone and being able to stand pressure being a board member.  Now it's time to show your real colors.

Duke and Jane Snider

...and we feel certain many other southern Ohio retirees feel the same as we do.

Ms. Hanning,

It's time for you to stand strong and fight against any future COLA cut for retirees as John indicated below.  Why didn't ORTA  fight to reinstate the three percent COLA as things got better instead of a solid 0% for one year and 2% thereafter?  What is it that is not understood by many? If it weren't for active teachers and retirees there would be no STRS?

Respectfully, Duke and Jane Snider

...and we feel certain, many other southern Ohio retirees feel the same as we do.
