For multiple years, the state pension fund has opposed CEO pay at Apple due to the incredibly high total compensation. We are opposing CEO pay again and voting against board directors in charge of pay decisions.
Statement: “The Executive Budget for the upcoming state fiscal year comes at a time of unusual fiscal uncertainty, caused largely by federal policies that have injected unnecessary volatility into the state and national economies. These policies will result in lost funding and increased costs to the state, and could deal a devastating blow to hundreds of thousands of New Yorkers with the loss of health coverage, nutritional assistance, safety net protections and more. As negotiations commence, policymakers need to proceed with caution as they work on balancing the budget, improving affordability and maintaining vital services for New Yorkers." signed Thomas P. DiNapoli
