That move was recommended by a special blue-ribbon commission that said the city pension fund has regularly underperformed the state’s in investment returns. The commission said the state fund made $30 million more than the local fund over the past decade. Mayor David B. Cohen has already endorsed taking the step, which will now be debated by the Board of Aldermen. -- Connie Paige Posted by the Boston Globe City & Region Desk at 11:59 AM
