You are probably correct. The retirement system trustees have a LEGAL & MORAL obligation to make investments that benefit the beneficiaries of the funds. If they were to take actions (such as selling stock in some firms that invest in Iran) and the result is a monetary loss, they would be legally liable for the amount loss. The only way they can get by their legal and moral obligation is if the LEGISLALTURE gives them legal protection by passing a law that orders them to take that act. The governor has no such legal authority and can not give them any legal protection. Of course, that may not bother the Rickster whose primary concern is to look good to those he is trying to impress in his effort to become the VP nominee. I might not mind if he does get the nomation if he had to resign as governor but since he doesn’t, he can be the VP nominee and still be governor after the Republicans lose the race. Too bad!!!
