When I saw the title, I was afraid Jeffco would be there. It is such a freaking mess. most of which was issued to overhaul its sewer system in the mid-1990s. But the county's real troubles stem from a 2003 refinancing of the original fixed-rate bonds and a corrupt local government that accepted kickbacks in exchange for mangling the county's portfolio the now ex-mayor is in jail or on his way there for 15 years, which at his age probably amts to a life sentence. and wall street its part. I 'think' it was JP Morgan involved in getting them junk. anyways... hoping it shakes out okay. the insanity of this happening over fixing the sewer system is... sad.
