From James Doran , Wall Street Correspondent



THE tenure of the president of America’s biggest pension fund was terminated yesterday, amid accusations of a plan by Arnold Schwarzenegger to force him from office.

Sean Harrigan, a union leader and champion of shareholder rights, was put in charge of the California Public Employees’ Retirement System, known as Calpers, last year.

But last night he was voted out of office by the State Personnel Board, the California Government organisation that elects one member of the Calpers board to oversee its operations. He will step down in January, when his term expires.

Mr Harrigan was appointed as the State Personnel Board representative to the Calpers board in 1998, when Gray Davis, a Democrat, was Governor of California.

3. Any guy who meets with Ken Lay in a hotel room then runs for CA governor

needs to be watched like a hawk. Chances are good he is a corporate puppet. Lord knows he ain't no politician nor is he a public servant!
