State Pension Funds Join CtW in Calling for Exclusion of Broker Votes

In a piece today in the New York Post, Kaja Whitehouse reports that “letters are pouring in to WaMu Chairman Kerry Killinger and other board members” on the broker vote issue.

She reports: “Among those crying foul are pension funds from California, Florida, New Jersey and North Carolina, including the granddaddy of all pension funds, the $255 billion California Public Employees Retirement System and the $80 billion New Jersey Division of Investment.

“Several union pension funds are leading the charge, and the Council of Institutional Investors, which represents 140 public, private and union pension funds, is also drafting a letter on this issue, to be released today.”
