DeWine says public pension plans should release information

By

Ohio's five public employee pension plans should release detailed records to the public, Republican candidate for Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine told The Plain Dealer this week. DeWine, a Republican and former U.S. senator, criticized his opponent, Democratic Attorney General Richard Cordray, for advising the plans to deny a request for the information from the Ohio News Organization, a coalition of the state's largest newspapers, The Plain Dealer said. DeWine said if he is elected, he will advise the pension fund managers to make the records available. As two of the five state retirement funds seek more money from taxpayers, several Ohio newspapers have asked for detailed information on contributions, service time and benefits by individual on the funds' 400,000 recipients, but without any names or identifying information.
