State Pension Chief Expects to Be Axed

The CalPERS head, an advocate of corporate reform, has alienated big business...unions, retirees and consumer groups want him to stay

By Marc Lifsher, Los Angeles Times

The head of the California Public Employees' Retirement System said Monday that he was being ousted from the board of the nation's largest public pension fund, where his efforts to use its $177-billion investment portfolio to push an array of corporate reforms have roused the ire of business interests. Sean Harrigan, president of CalPERS since early 2003, is a union official who serves on the pension fund's panel as the representative of the state Personnel Board. He said he had been told that a majority of his fellow Personnel Board members would vote Wednesday to replace him when his CalPERS term expires early next year.

Mornin Norm,

I am personally please to see this Leftist go.

He has taken over CALPERS with an eye tword using its inherent
power to "reform" business practices he personally disagrees with.

That, along with his oft stated goal of using CALPERS to advance the goals of Unions and their minions, NOT the beneficiaries that he is supposed to be representing.

As a member of CALPERS, I want my retirement plan to get the best possible return for my money.

NOT to use MY money for the personal pet projects and desires for whichever Socialist that in in charge that day.

Cheers,

knews hound

It appears that Willie is busy cutting this union thug's throat via knife wounds in the back of the union thug's neck.

Cal Pers continues to a Poster Boy organization of what happens when liberals run an organization.

Whenever a leftie starts to squeal publicly like the statements below, that usually means that he/she/it is under some serious investigation by authorities not afraid of them.

"Harrigan, who also is a union officials, told the Times that corporate and political interests were "trying to take out one of the most outspoken advocates on behalf of corporate governance in the country."

"He accused Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's administration of lobbying to have him removed, but did not offer solid evidence. A spokesman for the Republican governor dismissed that assertion as a "conspiracy theory."

Soon, he will be blaming GW and the moral majority, Christians and real Jews for his problems.
