"We all want to make sure that performance based incentives are based on accurate numbers." - Rep. Adam Bird, Chair, Ohio Retirement Study Council

Watch the recording of yesterday's ORSC meeting at https://ohiochannel.org/programs/ohio-retirement-study-council-8-13-2026.

Go to 39:00 to watch the 15 minute discussion of "Retirement at Risk" by Allen Mendenhall and Dan Sutter.

"I will say, up front and in advance, that, if true, what is in this article, put out by Allen Mendenhall and Dan Sutter, is very concerning to retirees in Ohio. And so, you wrote a memo and I'm going to ask you to talk about that because the members of the Council and Ohio retirees are very much concerned about what's in this." - Rep. Adam Bird

"What I'd like to do, or maybe we as a committee, is reach out to the authors and ask them to address your wanting to know where these numbers come from, and have them provide us with that, with their citations." - Rep. Sean Brennan

"Representative Brennan, I can answer that question, I have already reached out to both of the authors, and so I am going to be working on that issue, and I want either or both to communicate with Mr. Bernard and Retirement Study Council staff so that they can explain the methodology that allowed for that computation in the one column of Table 1. We've got to have Mr. Bernard, our staff, be able to reproduce those results." - Rep. Adam Bird
