Letter to House Representative

Dear Representative Moss:

I'm writing to ask your support of public education. Please help us control our costs while holding the state to its promise of adequate funding. Support House Bill 4116.

At the same time help our district control costs by supporting House Bill 4107 which is an honest attempt to fix the train wreck that has become the state teachers pension plan. This bill will support the existing participants while allowing new teachers to enroll in 401-k type retirement plans.

Also, please consider reintroducing legislation like House Bill 4274 which was introduced in 2005. This bill provides much needed transparency towards healthcare costs.

Thank you for your consideration. Our schools must be allowed to contain the two costs which are killing our system, healthcare and pension costs. Unless we act now, we risk putting the education of our children, and the welfare of our teacher in jeopardy.

Sincerely,

Sample Letter to Senate

Honorable Senator Pappageorge,

Your colleagues in the House are working on several pieces of legislation designed to accomplish two two things. One is to fulfill the promise of adequate funding for public education in the form of House Bill 4116. The second is works to fix the state teachers pension fund which suffers from a deficit of nearly $23 Billion. I've asked the House Representatives to consider reintroducing legislation from 2005 which would add transparency to school healthcare costs (HB 4274 from 2005).

Please work with your colleagues in the house by either drafting, or supporting, similar legislation in your chamber. Together we can all make a difference and keep our schools funded, our teachers welfare safe, and our costs contained.

Sincerely,
