![]() “As I was trying to retrieve my sign, there was another man that came and choked me, and there were two other people there who were coming in and preventing me from trying to get my sign.”“I never wanted to get physical with anyone,” she added. (Reporting by Ross Kerber in Boston and by Simon Jessop in London Editing by Dan Grebler)Ĭlashes broke out when a rally for the re-election of New York Governor Kathy Hochul was disrupted by protesters on Saturday, November 5.Hochul, the first female governor of New York, is currently running against the Republican party’s Lee Zeldin.This footage, taken by Leeroy Johnson, shows a clash that happened at a rally for Hochul at the Stone Wall Inn, which Zeldin supporters disrupted.In the footage, a person is seen grabbing a woman by the neck before stopping and arguing with protesters.“The NYPD got involved with no one getting arrested,” Johnson said.In the footage, the woman can be seen climbing into an emergency medical services vehicle.The woman then speaks to the camera while holding a sign saying “Vote Red” and “Vote Them Out”, featuring pictures of Hochul and Antonio Delgado,Lieutenant Governor of New York, with blacked-out eyes and horns.“A woman – a very large, heavyset woman, might have been a man – came and took my sign,” she said. Instead, after talking to management, Vanguard wrote that it backed the company's own climate-related proposal as "we determined that management’s approach was in the best interest of long-term shareholders." In another example, in Britain, Vanguard said it declined to back a shareholder resolution at Barclays aimed at pushing the bank to phase out financial activities in the energy and utilities sectors. "How we evaluate nuance is really important and certainly outstrips other concerns," Galloway said in a telephone interview. But he is more concerned about making Vanguard's views transparent to its clients, as many votes are decided for subtle reasons. John Galloway, whom Vanguard will name as its new head of stewardship on Tuesday, said an argument to keep the talks behind closed doors would be to have more candid conversations with company executives. But like other fund firms lately, Vanguard has begun to disclose more details about its reasoning behind specific proxy votes on topics like director elections, social issues or climate policies. Vanguard also opposed Alphabet's executive pay in prior years. An Alphabet spokeswoman declined to comment on Vanguard's votes. In an advisory ballot at Alphabet's annual meeting in June 25% of votes cast were "against" the pay. Vanguard said in the report it "found a misalignment between pay and performance" and would have liked to see more long-term compensation tied to metrics like relative total shareholder return. ![]()
