Chevron said it filed a complaint…seeking a probe of DiNapoli and current and past members of his staff…Chevron said the plaintiffs' supporters have contributed more than $60,000 to DiNapoli's campaign, as well as "other political benefits."…DiNapoli oversees the New York State Common Retirement Fund, which owns more than $800 million of Chevron stock…"This is a baseless attempt by big oil to intimidate me," DiNapoli said in a statement.
