Absolutely about time. But you have to wonder, why now?
A muni-bond expert recently exposed city bond financing schemes as a house of cards (Chicago). Examining city bond documents uncovered taxpayers were royally rooked---and were paying billions for:
<><> greedy politicians' shady financial legerdemain,
<><> including using long-term financing to cover day-to-day expenses,
<><> using bonds to pay pension obligations, and,
<><> misappropriating returns from the interest rate swap portfolio as a free-for-all ATM for pols.
Bonding is eternal taxation. Insider deals bonding companies made w/ shady pols to get sanctuary city bonding business would tell a tale of greedy pols accumulating riches through massive govt corruption.
If these sanctuary city bonding deals were effectuated by way of referendum at the ballot box----and misled investors into buying tax-fee muni bonds----the SEC would be interested.
