BOSTON – State representative and candidate for Congress Jeff Perry (R-Sandwich) fought strongly today for passage of legislation that will require Massachusetts to divest its pension money from foreign oil and gas companies with active investments of more than $20 million in Iran.
“This is an issue of great importance, not just to the people of Massachusetts, but to all Americans,” said Perry, after the House voted 131-15 in favor of the legislation. “Today, we sent a loud and clear message that we will not allow our pension dollars to foster terrorist activity by Iran.”
