City Council this morning approved Mayor Nutter's two appointees to SEPTA's board after a contentious committee meeting last week.  Beverly Coleman, executive director of NeighborhoodsNow, was unanimously approved.  Not so for Rina Cutler, Nutter's deputy mayor for transportation and utilities.  Councilman Bill Green, who helped lead the charge in aggressively questioning Cutler last week, paused for a long moment before approving her appointment.  Council members W. Wilson Goode Jr. and Joan Krajewski voted against Cutler.
