Attorney General Dave Yost has filed a slew of subpoenas against individuals he has accused of bribery as a major scandal brews inside the retired teachers' pension fund. The investment firm at the center of the controversy is now speaking out.
Educators are caught in the crosshairs of this legal battle.
"I'm kind of in this fight," former teacher Robin Rayfield said. "I'd certainly like to just be retired."
Rayfield has been pushing for transparency from STRS. He leads the Ohio Retirement for Teachers Association (ORTA), the faction of reformers. They have played a major role in electing board members who also want to change the financial system.

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.
