Mayor Nutter is quoted in this Bloomberg story today about losses to government pension funds.
Here's an excerpt:
"Not a whole lot of people get too excited about pension funds," Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter said in an interview. "But if you have to pay those costs, they do grab your attention."
After Philadelphia's fund lost $650 million in the first nine months of last year, Nutter joined the mayors of Atlanta and Phoenix in writing a letter to Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson seeking financial help for U.S. cities. Their November letter cited investment deficits and rising pension costs.
