State Sen. Ethan Strimling announced Tuesday he will introduce legislation directing the state to divest its holdings in companies that operate in countries that support and finance international terrorism.The idea of divestment, suggested against Israel, may have a far better result when targeted against those countries that are the real threat in the Middle East.
Strimling, D-Portland, said the state has more than $50 million invested in corporations involved in development of nuclear power plants, oil and gas development, ship construction and other projects in countries such as Iran, North Korea, Libya and Syria.
