Assemblyman Joel Anderson successfully moved his bill, AB 221, today to get CalPers and CalStrs investments out of companies invested in Iran. After some incredible testimony in Appropriations Committee by CalPers representatives justifying investing in Iran for these retirement programs, a bi-partisan vote, even including very stern comments by Dem members against these investments,
it came to our floor and succeeded today, by a tally of 69-0. Congrats to Joel on an exceptional effort to support our nation’s policy on terror purveyors and send the right message.
