Buckeye Marv is still attending STRS BOARD MEETINGS , on the third Thursday of the Month, and asking the same questions !!!!!
STRS is probably the worst of the Ohio State Pensions Funds, in terms of low COLAS , terrible investment losses , lack of transparency , etc.
Please VOTE IN 2025 for PRO-REFORM CANDIDATES !!!!!!
BTW , My questions about the fees , shared during the November , 2022 STRS Meeting HAVE STILL NOT BEEN ANSWERED OR ADDRESSED !!!!!!!
