“”that would ban the government from considering environmental impacts or potential lawsuits when making investment decisions for people’s retirement plans.””
Pardon me if this sounds stupid but what decisions does the GOVERNMENT make re people’s retirement plans? Are they in the investment business now?
Yes if you are a police officer or a teacher.
Why, they’re in any business they want to be in. They’re the government, after all . . .
It was an EO directed at the DoL, who is in charge of ERISA. And ERISA has jurisdiction over all pension funds. Thus, this EO is ultra vires and does not only pertain to the Govt agency, it will also directly affect you if you have any kind of private retirement account. This is an illegal backdoor run around Congress. Mr. Speaker, SUE THEM.
