AND THE FIGHT GOES ON...

Today was not a good day for Ohio STRS members. The politicians in all their wisdom decided to make a bad situation even worse by legislating a hostile takeover of our pension system and stacking the board with their political appointees who have no vested interest in our retirement system. They also restructured the board so their appointees will always be the board majority and officers of the board. The appointees will be paid and receive hospitalization while members continue to be victimized.

What they fail to realize is that their action does not resolve any of the issues and concerns that have been expressed by MOF members for over 8 years. They also fail to realize that they as the appointees and their appointments will now be our total focus.

This new focus will now be a part of our total mission. "MOF Mission 1" is completed and now what is known in the movie industry as a sequel "MOF Mission 2" begins today. I do not know nor have I talked to ORTA or the Ohio STRS Watchdogs, but I have the feeling they will also continue to the fight for what is right.

No justice...no peace.
