Texas House gives early approval to bill that would punish Wall Street for fossil fuel disinvestment

The Texas House on Monday gave preliminary approval to a bill that would direct state investment funds to divest from companies that cut ties with fossil fuel companies.

Senate Bill 13 was approved on second reading in the House, and needs only a third reading before it is sent to Gov. Greg Abbott’s desk.

The legislation would require state entities — including state pension funds and Texas’ massive K-12 school endowment — to divest from companies that refuse to invest in or do business with fossil fuel-based energy companies.

It’s a response to the sentiment on Wall Street that oil and gas companies are contributing to climate change — and may not be a good investment in the midst of an energy transition. The bill seeks to divest the state’s massive investment funds from firms that “boycott” fossil fuel companies.

Since it is a Senate Bill, it was already passed over there. Although it seems stupid and lame, this bill is dangerous. These funds should not be at the will of any political statement, but be passed on market performance. It really sucks that public bonds and investments could go under because of these gun slinging yahoos! And they complain about "cancel culture".

Texas state funds identified in the bill include the $46 billion Texas Permanent School Fund, the largest such K-12 fund in the U.S; the Teacher Retirement System of Texas, which manages nearly $165 billion in investments; and the Employees Retirement System of Texas and Texas Municipal Retirement System of Texas, which each manage $31 billion.

San Antonio: Nirenberg coasts to third term with dominating win over Brockhouse

With nearly all of the votes tallied Saturday night, Mayor Ron Nirenberg secured a third term as he claimed 62% of the vote. Former District 6 councilman Greg Brockhouse – who failed to capture the same support he had in 2019, when he took Nirenberg to a runoff – trailed with 31.4%.

Avoiding a runoff “is what we were planning for and working toward, and I’m glad to see that taking shape,” Nirenberg said Saturday after early voting results came in.

Only two of the other 12 candidates in the race gained more than 1% of the vote in an election that drew a higher turnout than is typical for city elections. Though just 17%, the turnout was likely driven by a contentious ballot proposition on police union bargaining rights, Proposition B, which appeared headed to defeat.

With the mayoral race’s outcome apparent relatively early in the evening, Brockhouse offered the mayor his congratulations.

However, Proposition B, which would have removed collective bargaining for SAPD did not pass. After heavy presence of SAPOA and pushing against the Proposition by AFL-CIO and other unions, the measure was defeated 51-49%. (Man those Vote No people at the polls were just crazy and were total bullies) Heck, I think those bullies at the polls may have scared off a few voters, but they were extremely, extremely loud.

About LeftInTX

Always a Democrat. I can't understand conservatives. I try to understand them, but I can't. They don't make sense. Our country has gone so far right since 1981. I was just an average American who took many Democratic values for granted when Reagan was elected. It was like the rug was pulled out from under our society. Reagan ruined our country.
