Wisconsin’s Chief Financial Officer is calling on the state’s investment panel to divest all holdings in Russian companies. In a letter to the State of Wisconsin Investment Board, State Treasurer Sarah Godlewski says…in her words… This devastating conflict may be thousands of miles away, but it’s on all of us to leverage every economic tool at our disposal to exert pressure on Russia to stop this naked aggression, bloodshed, and destruction.” Godlewski points out that Wisconsin should follow the leads of Pennsylvania, North Dakota, California, Connecticut, New York, which have already announced divestment plans.
