Your presentation was excellent. I have been working on bond initiatives for years and picked up some excellent tips from you. Local governments spend a lot of our money “educating” the public and essentially encouraging them to approve more debt. Taxpayers can learn a lot from you on how we can stop leaving future generations a legacy of debt. Thanks for all you do!
