The ongoing debate over Ohio's teacher pension fund

ORTA Staff

Today at noon on Cincinnati Edition!


Dean Dennis, President of ORTA, will be a guest on Cincinnati Edition.


Ohio’s State Teachers Retirement System controls $90 billion invested on behalf of 500,000 active and retired teachers. But there is a debate among members over actively managed funds verses an index fund.


Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost has launched an investigation into several STRS board members, and now one board member — known as one of the “reformers” — has resigned.

Amid the upheaval we examine how the state’s teacher pension fund is managed.


Guests:

  • Lynn Hoover, interim executive director, State Teachers Retirement System of Ohio

  • Dean Dennis, president, Ohio Retirement for Teachers Association

  • Laura Bischoff, reporter, USA Today Network Ohio Bureau


 

STRS Ohio Board member Rudy Fichtenbaum, and former Board member Wade Steen, are incurring legal fees, defending themselves against the lawsuit brought against them by A.G. Dave Yost. ORTA will use donations from the Pension Defense Fund to help them, if needed, pay their legal expenses. They have volunteered their time to support Ohio's teachers. Now it's time for us to show our support for them! Make a donation today to the ORTA Pension Defense Fund
