(Bismarck, ND) -- The North Dakota State Investment Board is still working to get taxpayer money out of Russian investments.

The board met Friday to discuss the two-point-seven million left in Russian investments. Trading in Russian equities has been stopped, making it difficult for the board to completely divest the state of its Russian investments.

The state had 16 million is Russian investments when the effort began to pull out of exposures in the country.
