Tuesday, February 14, 2017 Senator Mitch Mcconnell Senate Majority
Tuesday, February 14, 2017 Senator Mitch McConnell Senate Majority Leader 317 Russell Senate Office Building Washington, DC 20510 Senator McConnell, Nearly 55 million workers across the country lack access to employer-sponsored retirement plans, and millions more fail to take full advantage of employer-supported plans. Without access to easy and affordable retirement savings options, far too many workers are on track to retire into poverty where they will depend on Social Security, state, and federal benefit programs for their most basic retirement needs. States across the country have been innovating to address this problem. We are writing to respectfully urge you to protect the rights of states and large municipalities to implement their own, unique approaches. Last week, two resolutions of disapproval (H.J. Res 66, H.J. Res 67) were introduced to repeal key Department of Labor (US DOL) rules. If passed, these resolutions would make it more difficult for states and municipalities to seek solutions to the growing retirement savings crisis. We ask that you support the role of states as policy innovators by voting “No” on H.J. Res 66 and H.J. Res 67. Thirty states and municipalities are in the process of implementing or exploring the establishment of state-facilitated, private-sector retirement programs. Eight states have passed legislation to allow individuals to save their own earnings for retirement (no employer funds are involved as these are not defined benefit plans). While most state and municipal plans will be governed by independent boards, the day-to-day investment management and recordkeeping would not be conducted by the state, but rather by private sector firms - the same financial institutions that currently provide retirement savings products. -

Report from the Office of The
Preliminary REPORT FROM THE OFFICE OF THE KENTUCKY STATE TREASURER Accountability for State October Expenditures 22, 2020 During the Pandemic Interim Joint Committee on Judiciary Allison Ball Kentucky State Treasurer Noah Friend General Counsel EXECUTIVE SUMMARY A general consensus exists regarding the unique challenge posed by the COVID-19 pandemic. The lives of all citizens of the Commonwealth have been touched in some way, whether by the health effects of the virus itself or the economic hardships resulting from lockdowns and business closures. For the citizens who have lost loved ones as a result of COVID-19, their sadness and grief will extend beyond any declaration of emergency. Acknowledging these very real and serious challenges, this report nevertheless seeks to shine a light on various decision points undertaken by the Beshear Administration in its handling of the on-going pandemic. In my role as Treasurer, I am responsible for ensuring that expenditures of the Commonwealth conform to the Constitutions of the United States and the Commonwealth of Kentucky. Accordingly, my Office has undertaken a review of documents received from multiple health departments, as well as the Kentucky State Police, regarding actions that were taken in relation to the First Amendment exercise of Kentucky citizens during the COVID-19 pandemic. This report shows: • The targeted monitoring of churches by local health departments at the direction of state officials; • The coordinated surveillance of churches by the Kentucky State Police, which included officers remaining posted outside church services where church- goers were instructed that they faced the threat of repercussions, including criminal penalties and quarantine orders for their attendance; • The disdain shown by the Administration for the sincerely held religious beliefs of the Commonwealth’s citizens; and • The enforcement distinctions drawn by the Administration between protests based on the subject matter of those protests. -

CERES | ENVIRONMENTAL DEFENSE FUND January 2010
CERES | ENVIRONMENTAL DEFENSE FUND January 2010 SEC: COMPANIES MUST DISCLOSE CLIMATE RISKS, OPPORTUNITIES Disclosure is the Cornerstone of Federal Securities Law. The longstanding requirement that publicly traded corporations disclose material information to their shareholders is based on a simple proposition: only through the steady flow of timely, comprehensive, and accurate information can people make sound investment decisions. Efficient, fair markets depend on the availability of information on corporate strategy, performance, and policies to give investors the insights they need to make rational investment decisions. Climate Change is a Significant Hidden Risk in Portfolios. Just as subprime mortgage risks were inadequately disclosed, the risks and opportunities of climate change are not accounted for in companies’ business plans. The EPA, states and regional initiatives are carrying out policies to slow, stop, and reverse the growth in dangerous greenhouse gases while forging a vibrant clean energy economy, and Congress will soon follow suit. Investors have a right to know which companies are planning for a clean energy future and which are lagging behind. Climate Change is Important to Investment Decisions. In 2007, the nation’s largest institutional investors, state treasurers, Ceres, Environmental Defense Fund and other groups petitioned the SEC to issue interpretive guidance clarifying that material climate-related information must be disclosed. See www.sec.gov/rules/petitions.shtml (File No. 4-547). In June 2009, 41 members of the Investor Network on Climate Risk, representing $1.4 trillion of assets under management, again asked the Commission to improve disclosure of climate risks and other material environmental risks.i New Policies Make Climate Risks Material. -
WSIB Appoints Allyson Tucker As Incoming Chief Executive Officer Agency to Evaluate New CIO Candidates As Part of 2021 Leadership Transition (June 17, 2021)
Washington State Investment Board Press Release WSIB appoints Allyson Tucker as incoming Chief Executive Officer Agency to evaluate new CIO candidates as part of 2021 leadership transition (June 17, 2021) Olympia – The Washington State Investment Board (WSIB) today appointed Allyson Tucker as its incoming Chief Executive Officer (CEO), effective January 1, 2022. With more than 20 years of investment management experience and 11 years at the WSIB, Tucker has served as Chief Investment Officer (CIO) at the WSIB since January 2020. Prior to her role as CIO, Tucker served as head of the agency’s Risk Management and Asset Allocation team. She will succeed Theresa Whitmarsh, who will retire on December 31, 2021 after serving as the agency’s top executive for 12 years. As part of this leadership change, the Board is updating the working title from Executive Director to CEO for consistency with the investment industry. Whitmarsh publicly announced her plans for a year‐end retirement at the Board’s May 20 meeting. Board members began working on succession plans in late 2020. For the remainder of 2021, Tucker and Whitmarsh will work together to create a smooth handoff of responsibilities. “It’s gratifying during my final months on the job to be able to work with Allyson and our Board members to accomplish a fully collaborative transition,” said Whitmarsh. “This job has meant so much to me, and this will be a very fulfilling way to close out my time here.” As part of the transition, WSIB’s management team will evaluate candidates to fill Tucker’s current CIO role, with the intention of filling the seat later this year.
