The plan would refinance years of budget gimmickry without federal help and shift $2.5 billion of new pension fund investments into city borrowings while converting $1.15 billion in short term notes to MAC long term bonds. Banks would convert $1.65 billion in notes to MAC issues at lower rates, and a $1.6 billion private holder debt would face a legislative debt moratorium.
