Board plans review on state pension advisers

The Board of Public Works Wednesday agreed to clarify the appointment process for advisers to the State Retirement and Pension system after complaints that a nominee who would have been the first African-American in that post was treated poorly.

Comptroller Peter Franchot and Sen. Catherine E. Pugh said Wednesday that Larry E. Jennings Jr., co-founder and senior managing director of TouchStone Partners, a private equity firm that manages over $300 million in assets, was treated unfairly and subsequently withdrew his name from consideration, creating concern among many in the state's minority business community.
