The 2017 Pension Political Power 25: Mike Rawlings
No. 21 Mike Rawlings, Mayor of Dallas
In November, Dallas MayorMike Rawlingstestified before the Texas Pension Review Board that his city faces bankruptcy if something isn’t done to fix its struggling, scandal-plaguedPolice and Fire Pension System. The rating agencies agree with the former Pizza Hut CEO: In December, Moody’s Investors Service downgraded Dallas’s general obligation bonds from Aa3 to A1, citing challenges surrounding the poorly funded $2.1 billionpublic safety pension plan. It was Moody’s third downgrade since October 2015, all for the same reasons. Just the day before the most recent cut, the pension plan’s trustees had halted lump-sum withdrawals; that action was taken in response to the 62-year-old Rawlings’s unusual step of suing the pension fund and its board as a private citizen to try to prevent a equivalent of a bank run.— Imogen Rose-Smith
