Connecticut Considers Pension Funds to Keep WNBA's Sun

Connecticut is thinking about using money from the state's pension fund to buy part of the Connecticut Sun, a WNBA team.

This is unusual because pension funds usually don't invest this way.

The state wants to keep the team from moving to Boston or Hartford, which other investors are considering.

Some people think this is a good idea, hoping it will bring money to the state, while others worry it's not the right way to invest retirement funds.

The WNBA might also buy the team and move it.

The state's leaders are deciding what's best for both the team and the people who depend on the pension fund.
