BABs vs Tax-Exempts: Balancing the Costs and Benefits 6 Months, 4 Weeks ago
Recent Bond Buyer article... www.bondbuyer.com/issues/119_275/revenue...-babs-1007229-1.html about the history of tax-exempts and the development (and upcoming fine-tuning) of "Build America Bonds" to balance the costs to the federal treasury vs the benefits to local governments.

The IRS backtracks ... a little... it's way too early to tell what percentage of BABs will be audited. www.bondbuyer.com/news/-1013072-1.html?zkPrintable=true Enter code here Please note: although no board code and smiley buttons are shown, they are still usable.
