Joe Lupo: A commentary on an excerpt from Dan MacDonald and Rob Walters' report on the May 18, 2023 STRS Board meeting

From Joe Lupo

"Board member Sellers asked why Wade Steen wasn’t present. Executive Director Neville replied that the governor made a new appointment and that was all he knew. It is statements like this that cause members to have no trust in Neville."

STRS knew the election results on Tuesday prior to FirstEnergy DeWine's press release on Friday regarding his illegitimate removal of Wade Steen, Who would have more to gain than Neville himself by maintaining a majority of six members in his favor? That would be what they call job security for him.

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to put 2+2 together to know that Neville was involved directly or indirectly. Either way, he miserably fails the smell test. Does Neville really think that like his "majority board members," starting with Carol Correthers and Dale Price, that we buy into his never-ending dog-and-pony shows?

Neville is so cavalier in what he says and does, that his actions and words cry for further scrutiny.
