Oklahoma banned BlackRock and other ESG companies, so BlackRock hit them with a lawsuit. Attorney General Gentner Drummond took over the lead in the case against BlackRock.

Oklahoma Attorney General Gentner Drummond sent a secret email to BlackRock officials and lobbyists indicating he wanted to lose the case.

He is leading the case against BlackRock and told them he wants to “continue our productive corporate-state partnership.” Gentner also wants the BlackRock chief client officer to know he is “simply Gentner.”

He’s the epitome of everything that’s wrong with politicians.

Will Hild, Executive Director of Consumers First, said Gentner has close ties with BlackRock and their lobbyists.

Yes, Oklahoma has a swamp too. It is overflowing with creatures such as this.

I know you can sue anybody for anything but how can a court even hear a case where one entity, government or not, can be sued for not doing business with another entity? In this case the State of Oklahoma being sued by BlackRock. Don’t they have the right to invest state funds (taxpayers’ money) wherever they believe they can get the best return on those investments? I know private citizens have that right and every other entity has that right too. Except for an entity that has a monopoly forcing customers to exclusively use their services, where does it say anybody must do business with anybody else.

Done with it all.

it’s not just about returns, honesty and integrity have to be considered, as well as constitutional issues.

He should be facing a 10 year sentence for perverting the course of justice.
