The Honorable, The Legislature:
S218
At the request of members of the Joint Legislative Audit Committee, we have reviewed the circumstances surrounding the State Investment Board's December 16, 1994 letter to Mr. John Brogan, Chairman of the Bank of Kaukauna, regarding statements he allegedly made concerning the State Investment Fund. Although Investment Board staff believed they had good cause for concern that statements allegedly made by Mr. Brogan in December could harm investors in the Fund, we believe that they acted too hastily, without sufficient effort to confirm either the statements or the actual effect such statements were having on the Fund. In addition, the Investment Board did not obtain appropriate authorization from the Attorney General before retaining special counsel. Finally, the tone and content of the letter to Mr. Brogan were inappropriate.
In completing our review, we interviewed Investment Board trustees and staff, Mr. Brogan, and the Attorney General; examined Investment Board and Office of the State Treasurer records; and reviewed Board minutes and correspondence.
