Mike Braun: ESG puts investors and retirees at financial risk

Liberal activists in corporate boardrooms are pushing the woke agenda into every aspect of our lives. Woke corporations should not be allowed to try and tell us how to run our state while they rake in profits that are subsidized by hard working Hoosiers. ESG puts investors and retirees at financial risk and will have no place in the Indiana state government. [OTI Note: ESG = Environmental, Social, and Governance considerations when making policy or investments]

Jay Ashcroft: Ethical investing is against shareholder interests

ESG and the Corporate Equality Index (CEI) are part of the so-called "ethical investing" movement being pushed by progressives, activist shareholders, and proxy voters, driving investments toward liberal priorities that are in conflict with investors' interests. When banks and asset managers use that power to push ESG goals over investor returns, they are defrauding the investor. [ESG = Environmental, social, and corporate governance].

Curtis Hill: Cut state corporate income tax from 4.9% to 3.5%

?As Governor, I will work to cut our state corporate income tax from 4.9% to 3.5%, so Hoosier businesses have the resources to reinvest in their employees and communities. By cutting the corporate tax rate, we will encourage new businesses to invest in our state, which in turn will bring new jobs, better opportunities for hardworking Hoosiers, and a larger tax base to accommodate such a cut without hurting the fiscal stability of our state.
