West Virginia letter supporting financial system access for fuel industry (November 2021)
Boozer was a co-signer on a November 22, 2021, letter sent by West Virginia State Treasurer Riley Moore and addressed: “To Whom It May Concern in the U.S. Banking Industry.” The signatories were the treasurers, auditors, and comptrollers from fifteen states. The letter identified them as the “fiduciaries and stewards of more than $600 billion” in combined investment capital.[4]
The letter began: “We are writing to notify you that we will be taking collective action in response to the ongoing and growing economic boycott of traditional energy production industries by U.S. financial institutions.” The signatories wrote their individual actions would be tailored to fit each state’s unique laws and economic position, but that the coordinated objective would be “to select financial institutions that support a free market and are not engaged in harmful fossil fuel industry boycotts for our states’ financial services contracts.”[5]
