A careful reading of the recently published and mailed Cook County PENSION NOTES should have alerted you to two important things:
A. Our pension fund’s rate of return was minus 24.5% in 2008 or a loss of about 2 Billion dollars from 2007!
B. An election for a seat on the Pension Board (called Trustee of the Annuity and Benefit Fund) will be held on Wednesday October 28, 2009. Mail ballots can be requested. Nominating petitions for the position can be obtained beginning September 3, 2009 at the Fund’s main office at 33 N Dearborn Suite 1000.
