The fallout from North Carolinas House Bill 2 continues six months after Gov. Pat McCrory signed it into law.

In the latest blow to the controversial bathroom bill , 60 investment managers from across the country representing more than $2.1 trillion in managed assets have called for the state to repeal the law, which effectively bars transgender people from using the restroom that best corresponds with their gender identity.

The chief executive officer of Trillium Asset Management , which has an office in Durham, North Carolina, warned that the Tar Heel State could be headed for a state-government-inflicted recession because of the bill, which McCrory has aggressively defended since signing March 23, the Associated Press reports .

Officials from the Republican governors re-election campaign released a statement from McCrory Monday that read, For New York hedge fund billionaires to lecture North Carolina about how to conduct its affairs is the height of hypocrisy. The statement, which can be read in full on local ABC affiliate WTVDs site, also blasted Democratic presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton for having raised ungodly amounts of money from Wall Street for her own campaign.

Still, McCrorys statement overlooks the fact that his state has been experiencing near-constant pushback from various industries over the controversial bill. Bruce Springsteen , Pearl Jam and Cirque du Soleil have all opted out of North Carolina performances in the wake of the legislation, and the law was also cited by Deutsche Bank and PayPal as incentive to scrap expansion plans in the state.

The governors decision to back the bill in spite of the backlash hasnt gone over too well with residents, either. A Monmouth University poll published in August found that 55 percent of North Carolina voters opposed House Bill 2, while seven out of 10 voters believe it had hurt North Carolinas national reputation.

Still, to put it in McCrorys words, we ask:
