We enjoyed a visit with the New Philadelphia Breakfast Club on May 14th along with Ohio State Highway Patrol Retirement System Director Carl Roark to discuss current issues impacting the pension system, the active ranks, recruitment, State Troopers of Ohio (STO) lobbying efforts with the Ohio General Assembly among other topics. Thanks to retired Sergeant Charlie Demuth and retired Dispatcher Jona Dunbar Scott for getting the word out about our visit.

Cincinnati Enquirer - Some members of the State Teachers Retirement System of Ohio really want to know which pension fund employees wrote an anonymous 14-page memo and then dropped it off to the governor.

Board Member Julie Sellers on Thursday floated the idea of hiring an investigator to find the leak. The board agreed to hold off on that until it can consult an outside attorney before a special May 30 meeting.
