The bench trial began on Monday, October 27, and is expected to continue throughout this week.
The courtroom has limited seating so you are encouraged to watch the livestream of the trial on Judge Karen Held Phipps' website.
ORTA is continuing to collect donations for our Pension Defense Fund to pay for the ongoing lawsuit brought against current Board Chair Rudy Fichtenbaum and former Board member Wade Steen by Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost.
ORTA needs your help. Please make a donation to the Pension Defense Fund to help pay legal fees to defend and protect our pension and retirement benefits from current and future legal attacks.
