From the office of NYS Comptroller DiNapoli

New York State Comptroller Thomas P. DiNapoli today announced that, as result of recent shareholder proposals he has filed on behalf of the New York State Common Retirement Fund (Fund), companies are taking action to address investment risks posed by climate change and impacts of environmental justice.

“The climate emergency presents enormous risks and opportunities for investors, but corporate America has to step up, adapt and address the challenges they’re facing,” DiNapoli said. “As the state pension fund’s trustee, it’s my responsibility to protect and strengthen our investments. Making sure our investments—and the retirement security of our 1.1 million members, retirees and beneficiaries—are protected from the impact of climate change is a top priority.”

The Fund engages with portfolio companies on a range of issues to address investment risks and opportunities, including climate issues. It encourages companies to adopt robust climate policies, practices, and disclosures. Shareholder proposals can be an effective way to directly communicate with portfolio companies, their boards and fellow shareholders about transitioning to the low-carbon economy and protecting shareholder value. When filing a shareholder proposal, the Fund seeks a productive dialogue with the company. If the company agrees to implement the proposal’s request, it is withdrawn by the Fund.

Assemblyman Billy Jones: Over $9 million in state funding coming to Assembly District 115 for water infrastructure projects

“North Country towns and municipalities are working hard to ensure that all North Country residents have access to clean water, but they need state support to make necessary repairs to the infrastructure. Today the awardees of the Water Infrastructure Improvement Act grants were announced, and it is great news that over $9 million will be coming to the North Country to assist local governments for water projects. More funding will continue to come to our region as a result of the enacted budget that allocated $5oo million in clean water infrastructure funding on top of $400 million for the Environmental Protection Fund. It’s important to me to protect our natural resources and our waterways and I will continue to advocate for more funding for water infrastructure to protect the North Country and the Adirondack regions for generations to come.”
