businessweek.com Don't use the link icon on SI, just copy the link from your browser address bar and paste into the message as I just did. Alternatively, if you click one of the SI malformed links, just click into the address bar and trim off the superfluous crap off the end, e.g. the </a>/ at the end of the link: [...]million-as-swaps-fail-muni-credit</a>/

Essentially, WS sold the school district snake oil, and now they are doubly worse off. When will everybody with any assets realize that it's nearly all smoke and mirrors on WS now?

Hi Deal, there are school budgets blowing up all around the country.... I was in Chicago the week prior to Memorial day and there was widespread discontentment with the fact that they were closing 49 schools and taking other fiscal measures to cut funding to education programs.... and they interviewed the typical parent who uniformly said .... The Government should do something about it and not let this stuff happen.... These people being interviewed had no clue that they elect their government and that the city of Chicago and the state of ILLinois is bleeding red all over the place due to a lack of proper budgeting.
