5 thoughts on “Indiana House Republicans take aim at ESG investing

    1. And we’re worse off for it! What on earth in the point of enacting legislation like this if it makes bond interests higher? That’s not helping the Indiana Public Retirement System at all.

    2. A T., I think you need to re-think your priorities. Who cares about bond interest rates and the IPRS if our planet is headed to its grave because of the by-products of fossil fuel consumption?

  1. Republicans claim, with a straight face, that they are the party of free markets and enterprise. Yet here they go again wanting to handcuff financial professionals who have a fiduciary responsibility to meet the unique needs and goals of their clients (if they failed to do so, you can be sure the clients would take their needs and goals elsewhere). This is further proof that the only kind of freedoms Indiana Republicans support are those that align with their ideology and appeal to their wealthy donors. If I’m wrong, tell me how and why.
