St Paul plan eyed as model for Atlanta bonds
The piece compares St Paul Minnesota s sinking fund approach to financing public debt with Atlanta s need for reforms. St Paul issues ten dollar certificates backed by city bonds, sold to residents with daily bond value updates and redeemable on demand. Since September the program has sold about 3.4 million dollars in certificates, keeping funds in local hands and boosting city improvements. The author urges Atlanta to investigate a similar plan to foster responsible government and curb extravagance.
