Winchester City Hall Bond Issue Not Tied to Tax Increases
City officials and business leaders discuss a proposed 12 000 bond issue to fund the new City Hall. They say the petition protesting debt has little effect since local representatives influence legislative action, and they project manageable interest, sinking fund, and revenue to cover costs. The existing debt totals 117 000 with most bonds at five and four percent, some maturing next year and potentially refinanced at three percent. Investors are reportedly eager to buy Winchester bonds.
