Milwaukee Journal Sentinel: Business: A Bit on Municipal Bonds--why shorter maturities make sense

In the current environment, shorter maturities make sense---from the investor perspective. Click on the post to read the article in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.

Now go to the other side---what are the prospects for a 20 year municipal bond financing??? for a millpond??? you make the call.

As I see it---and as the article suggests----The term must be shorter to be successful in placement---a fact that voters should consider in their calculation on election day. The annual property tax increase for Evansville residents for such a shorter term municipal bond placement for municipal bonds financing the Lake Leota Project would be double the amount indicated by the city. Make a note of it.
