NorCo Has $513,646,498 Invested With PFM Asset Management

You may remember John Spagnola from his football days at Bethlehem Catholic High School or his years with The Philadelphia Eagles. In Northampton County, he's known  more for his investment prowess as managing prowess as managing director at PFM, a Philadelphia investment firm. 

Last week, Northampton County Executive Lamont McClure advised County Council that PFM is managing $513,646,498 in county investments as follows: Pension fund - $463,795,774; OPEB fund - $48,534,422; and county trust fund - $1,316,302.

  1. Remember the more employees make the more money goes into these funds. Since we have had a new attitude of how we pay employees less money keeps going into that fund. Soon retirees are going to make more then active employees, its not far away in the jail. People are retiring and making more a month on pension then employees with 10 years seniority and working two OTs. It will run out. The county already changed the multipliers for the pension for new employees. Just another reason to not apply or just leave.. Will the pension be there?? You guys kept bringing up the Bethlehem steel with the health center. Ask the steel workers about their pension. I know they spit in my father's face.

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
