Teachers Union President Siphons $1 Million From Ohio Educators
Media Trackers ^ | August 26, 2013 | Jason Hart

Outgoing Ohio Education Association (OEA) President Patricia Frost-Brooks was paid a total of $998,949 from 2008-2012, the first five years of her six-year tenure.

Thanks to union contracts that existed long before many current teachers were hired, the vast majority of OEA’s revenue comes from more than $450 per year in dues deducted automatically from tens of thousands of Ohio teachers’ paychecks.

Based on OEA’s annual report to the U.S. Department of Labor, the union collected over $58 million in dues and “fair share” fees in 2012.

While Frost-Brooks has benefited the most from OEA’s generous officer and executive salaries during the past five years, others are not far behind. OEA Vice President Bill Leibensperger was paid a sum of $943,231 from 2008-2012, while OEA Secretary-Treasurer James Timlin was paid $923,658.

Has a hyphenated last name. Two types of people have these:

1. People with a combined family net worth of 20M+

2. Liberal idiots.

In this case, I’m going with #2.

I’m sure they’ve earned it. Lowering the educational achievement precipitously of over two generations doesn’t come easy.

“more than $450 per year in dues deducted automatically from tens of thousands of Ohio teachers’ paychecks.”
Any details of how manY $ per year the Union got for each of their teachers by buying off the politicians, local, state and national? I doubt that the teachers lost any money on the deal.........on the other hand, the taxpayers.......
