New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg is no fan of the gun industry, but his representative on the board that oversees the pension fund for city schoolteachers voted against a proposal to drop investments in companies that sell firearms or ammunition.<\/p>\n
Trustees of the $46.6 billion New York City Teachers’ Retirement System approved the divestment last week in response to the school massacre in Newtown, Conn.<\/p>\n
The only vote in opposition was cast by Bloomberg policy adviser Raymond Sarola.<\/p>\n
He said in a statement that pension decisions should be based only on “what’s best for pensioners.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
This is called \u201cFiduciary Responsibility\u201d and is what pension managers are supposed to do, not play political games with other people\u2019s money. (And that is what the pensions are. The money of retired and retiring teachers, even if they don\u2019t really deserve it)<\/p>\n
A Bloomberg spokesman says the mayor didn’t tell Sarola how to vote and doesn’t get involved in pension fund investment decisions.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
And if you believe that, Shorty Bloomberg has a few bridges he would like to sell you. Of course he talked with Sarola, but he did it in a way that can\u2019t be traced back. (No, I don\u2019t think this is a conspiracy, it\u2019s just good business sense)<\/p>\n
Bloomies is and always has been a jumped up petty little tyrant with delusions of political competence. I so love it when we get the chance to show what a phony he is as well.<\/p>\n
Thatisall<\/p>\n

<\/a>Since then a number of public sector pension systems have decided to cut their own throats<\/i><\/span> divest their portfolios of any stock in companies that manufacture guns or ammunition. Never mind that sales for these products are at an all time high, and the companies are making money hand over fist. These pension systems, which are meant to insure a good return for those receiving pensions, decided to do the Politically Correct thing, otherwise known as the stupid thing, and sell their positions.<\/p>\n
