ORTA’s Pension Defense Fund was established in May 2023 to assist Wade Steen in his legal battle with Governor DeWine to retain his voice for reforms at STRS. 

Now the governor is calling on Attorney General Yost to ‘investigate’ the hostile takeover of the STRS board. The A.G. is turning his sights on the very people the membership has elected to force transparency on issues like:

• Investment strategies that have failed the members but enriched the investment staff, their friends on Wall St., and the politicians in Ohio.

• Investment fees and costs that are considered ‘private documents.’

• The relationship between STRS’ high priced outside lobbyists and the makeup of the STRS board of trustees.

STRS Ohio Board members Wade Steen and Rudy Fichtenbaum are incurring legal fees as they defend themselves against the Ohio Attorney General's lawsuit. 

​

Your continued support of ORTA’s Pension Defense Fund is essential to ORTA’s efforts to reform STRS and build a culture at STRS that values its members over the highly paid staff at STRS. Please consider a donation.

Please donate today to help support our democratically elected reformers and ensure their ability to bring about real change at STRS.

Every dollar will be critical in this fight!
