Comptroller Carl McCall, who calls himself the "largest single investor in America," has used the power of the state's $112 billion pension fund to insulate major corporations from shareholder challenges on environmental, human rights, and other issues, contradicting his own progressive history and casting a cloud over his gubernatorial ambitions.

McCall even refused to support 11 resolutions on South Africa between 1993 and 1995, most of which attempted to apply the standards of corporate conduct drafted by the South African Council of Churches to aid the transition to majority rule.
