A Shot Over the Bond Ratings Bow

Wednesday there will be a vote on a bill to make it easier for the state to back private projects with taxpayer money.  We explore what this might do to the bond rating and debt service, who this serves, and what future boondoggles we might expect should it pass.

A bill about a bird makes national news because it was proposed by fourth graders who were in the House when it was killed.  (The Bill, not the bird.)  But it wasn’t just that it got voted down it was the testimony against it. The story went national but we’ve got a rep from the … Read more
