James Carr: Until we have a reform-controlled Board, we have no chance for a better future. It is a simple choice, either Michelle Flanigan is elected as our next reform Board member in the spring or we live like peasants for another year while the STRS fat cats continue to feast on our money.

If you are planning to spend your Golden Years basking in the sun as a member of STRS, plan wisely. The promised gold you see in the future is fools gold. STRS, will tell you that your retirement is secure, even as they pull the rug out from under you.
When you see 70 and 80 year old retired teachers working at Walmart or Kroger's, there's a very good chance they're not there because they are bored. There are a lot of other places they'd rather be; they just can't afford to be there. They put their faith in the promises made by STRS. This is the "real story" you don't see on the STRS Reflections series. There's not a pot of gold at the end of the STRS rainbow; just a rusty bucket filled with broken promises.
