A report released last week revealed that the Public Employees’ Retirement Association (PERA), Colorado’s pension fund for state workers, voted against 61% of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) resolutions proposed by companies it was invested in during the 2022 proxy season.
Colorado gubernatorial candidate Walker Stapleton says the largest drivers of Colorado’s “indebtedness” are “out-of-control Medicaid expansion,” which provides health insurance for low-income residents, and the state’s responsibilities under Public Employees’ Retirement Association (PERA).
In an unusual development on the gubernatorial campaign trail last week, a Republican candidate has criticized a likely opponent for “politicizing” Colorado’s public pension program.
