Re: “WA treasurer warns state to pull back on private equity investments” (Jan. 29, Enterprise):
Thanks for alerting us to the Washington state treasurer’s issues. My spouse’s pension as a former instructor is managed by the state, and now we have cash saved for our son’s faculty tuition by way of the state’s Assured Training Tuition Program.
The Accountable Funding Act (Senate Invoice 6304/Home Invoice 2662) would be certain that socially accountable rules are integrated into the decision-making of the Washington State Funding Board. We don’t want our financial savings invested in thermal coal, personal detention amenities or weapons producers complicit in worldwide human rights violations.
