Bond Interest Bill Has Little Local Effect
Gov. Preston Smith is expected to sign a bill raising the local bond interest ceiling from 5 to 6 percent. Odessa officials say the measure will not affect nearby bond sales soon, noting Odessa sold bonds at 3.7 percent last August and has AA/S&P and A-1 Moody’s ratings. Mayor Jim Reese calls rate caps artificial but supports a flexible market, while Lubbock cited failed bids tied to the 5 percent limit.
