CONNECTICUT EGG FARM, ESG VS RED STATES, MARK HOUCK, & MORE
Show Notes

More than 100 firefighters responded on Saturday to a raging inferno that ultimately killed 100,000 chickens at an egg farm in Bozrah, Conn., officials said. Resistance to environmental, social, and corporate governance (ESG) investing is taking center stage in a number of Republican-leaning state legislative sessions this year. The question is how red states can prevent asset managers from investing their states’ funds — or exercising shareholder rights (such as proxy voting) — to advance ESG-related political and social goals rather than maximizing returns for beneficiaries. Pro-life activist and Catholic father of seven Mark Houck was found not guilty on Monday on federal assault charges brought by President Joe Biden’s Department of Justice (DOJ), and more on today's episode.
