  1. The bonds don't mature until December 31, 2051!
    It's great to be in debt.
    The wonderful thing about Revenue bonds, as far as the City is concerned, is that the city doesn't have to have a vote of the people...just commit our revenue.

  2. “AND FINANCING CERTAIN COSTS”. That is rather vague. What other costs?

  3. @11:10--How much interest will we be paying overall? What is the REAL amount of this debt? And what exactly are they spending this enormous amount of money on beside the utility?

  4. Is there a Public Offering for these bonds. They might be a good investment.
