Over three years ago, Edward Siedle made a public records request to STRS, including requests for "Documents Regarding Investment Managers"

He's still waiting for those documents...


July 2024: Magistrate orders STRS to comply with Siedle's first investment managers request in the February 19, 2021 letter and first Panda Investments request in the June 26, 2021 letter.


  • Over three years ago, on February 19, 2021, Edward Siedle made a public records request with STRS, including requests for "Documents Regarding Investment Managers".

  • Beginning on March 5, 2021, STRS sent thousands of pages of records responsive to portions of Siedle's records requests other than the investment managers requests.

  • Finally, over three years later, the magistrate finds Siedle has established a clear legal right to the production of public records sought in the first investment managers request and the first Panda Investments request. STRS was under a clear legal duty to comply with these public records requests. Accordingly, it is the decision and recommendation of the magistrate that this court issue a writ of mandamus ordering STRS to comply with Siedle's first investment managers request in the February 19, 2021 letter.


"Now that the magistrate has confirmed that I (and you) have a “clear legal right” to the pension investment contracts, I trust that STRS will comply with its “clear legal duty” to provide them. The time has come for its members and taxpayers to see what STRS has been hiding for so many years. I look forward to learning the secrets STRS has fought so hard for so long to keep from the public." - Edward Siedle, July 26, 2024



 

This court document (October 7, 2024) lists STRS Ohio's objections to the Magistrate's decision, specifically citing Siedle's Panda Investments Request.
