Columbus, Ohio – Ohio Governor Ted Strickland has accepted the retirement
decision from Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction Director
Terry Collins, effective January 31, 2010.
Collins informed his staff today of his decision to retire after 33 years of
state service.
Strickland offered the statement below:
“I greatly appreciate the service and dedication of Terry Collins. As DRC
director, he has carried out some of the most difficult responsibilities
that any individual could face. He has managed a corrections system that is
well beyond capacity, and has dealt with very difficult economic
circumstances in his department while showing great concern for the safety
and security of his employees.
“Perhaps most importantly, Terry has demonstrated great moral and ethical
strength in the way he has administered the operations of the Department of
Rehabilitation and Correction. Terry is a truly good person with a
compassionate heart and a caring spirit. I consider him a good friend, and I
admire him as a public servant who has given 33 years of his life in service
to the people of Ohio. I wish him the best in his retirement.”[[In-content Ad]]
