The chairman of the House Appropriations Committee in Mississippi insists that he will do only what the Mississippi Public Employee Retirement System (PERS) advises him to do. They killed the bill last year and they aim to kill it again this year.

According to the latest available independent, public data, Mississippi PERS has investments in 68 foreign companies with business ties to the Islamic Republic of Iran, 35 companies with business ties to the Syrian Arab Republic and 25 companies with ties to the Islamic Republic of Sudan.

Here is a link to the committee chairman’s web site:
