Thomas Jefferson: The boisterous sea of liberty is never without a wave.

From RH Jones, January 24, 2008
Subject: Re: The coming Ohio STRS board election
To all active/retired educators:
Reasonable thinking active/retired teachers probably would want to elect a STRS board member who is a watch dog, not a lap dog, of our STRS employees -- that is just doing what is expected. And that should not be controversial.
“The boisterous sea of liberty is never without a wave”.

I share Tom Jefferson’s opinion,

Subject: An interesting development. Will it affect retired teachers?
To all:
The Ohio School Employee Health Care (HC) Plan …HB 66 created a “School Employees HC Board (SEHCB)” which has now been established. The Ohio Service Commission says: “It is to design and operate approved school employee HC plans one of which boards have to utilize.”
To find out more about this mandatory HC plan for Ohio you can inquire by e-mail at: healthbenefits@sehcb.ohio.gov or by phoning: (614) 728-7518. Minutes can be seen at: http://sehcb.ohio.gov.
