The Spectrum: STRS Battle (5:48) Colleen Marshall April 28,2024
“We’ll let the courts figure that, figure this out,” Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine said about one week after a court ruled the governor overstepped his authority in ousting STRS member Wade Steen.
“I felt like they, again, pulled the rug out from underneath us,” STRS board member Julie Sellers said.
STRS Ohio Board members Rudy Fichtenbaum and 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
ORTA advocates for the pensions and benefits of Ohio's educators, demands accountability from STRS Ohio, and lobbies Ohio's legislators to provide a strong and sustainable retirement system. We rely on membership dues to continue our work. Join ORTA!
