Therefore, savings will be much greater than originally projected. Freed also said, \u201cThis sale was a robust vote of confidence in the well-developed financial plan and the future outlook of the City.\u201d According to the Government Finance Officers Association, \u201cPension obligation bonds (POBs) are taxable bonds that some state and local governments have issued as part of an overall strategy to fund the unfunded portion of their pension liabilities by creating debt.\u201d There is some risk in the issuance of pension obligation bonds. The risk can be mitigated with higher yields that achieve a rate of return that exceeds the interest rate owed and the debt service. Taking advantage of the historically low interest rates is a step toward reducing the risk of the bonds.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Port Huron City Manager James Freed has announced the city has sold $53 million in pension obligation bonds for a historic low rate.
