Tax Exempt Bonds: A Description of State and Local Government Debt (open access)

Tax Exempt Bonds: A Description of State and Local Government Debt

This report provides information about state and local government debt. State and local governments issue debt instruments in exchange for the use of individuals' and businesses' savings.

State and local governments may finance capital facilities with debt rather than out of current tax revenue to more closely align benefits and tax payments. The federal government subsidizes the cost of most state and local debt by excluding the interest income from federal income taxation.
