Repost of our recent “Tortoise Award” video, comment by Brian Erickson includes “The report is meaningless. The only information creditors are interested in is the maintenance of police powers and population trends. As long as the state can steal from its citizens and its citizens remain in place creditors are apparently confident they will be repaid. If significant numbers of citizens leave the state as has happened in New York and other northeastern states then the CAFR becomes more important.”
