Borrowing binge is risky at best

The agencies took on an unprecedented $1.2 billion in new in hock this year — all backed by local property taxes. In part because so many bond issues went to retail, redevelopment agencies had to promise unusually high rates of return to investors.

Two-thirds of the in confidence 80 bond issues this year carried interest rates of more than 7 percent, the highest in two decades, according to a Bee criticism of records kept by the state treasurer. The more costly debt repayments will end up on local residents' tab, as The Sacramento Bee reported Sunday.

These cement issues may be the final ones for the redevelopment agencies. Under a deal approved by the Legislature, they had until Oct. 1 to either equity their property tax proceeds with the state or shut down. The California Redevelopment Association and League of California Cities are suing to lump that plan so agencies can stay in business. The state Supreme Court is set to rule in mid-January.

No episode the ultimate fate of redevelopment agencies, these new bonds will have to be repaid. State Treasurer Bill Lockyer says taxpayers could be scarred by what he describes as a "modern-day gold rush" by a panicked redevelopment industry.

what is the best washer/dryer energy efficient machine to get?

Nov 12, 2007 by whgeadam | Posted in Cleaning & Laundry

I craving to get a washer/dryer to hook up in a apartment that doesn't have hookups. I would say the washer would hook up to the sink. How would a dryer work? is it dangerous to use in a garage and where does the lint go?

Hamper out the LG Electronics WM3431 Front Load All-in-One Washer / Dryer. It is a single unit which works on 110 electricity. I'm assuming you don't have 220 convenient in your apartment as well.

What is the best washer/dryer temperature combination to stop clothes from shrinking?

Oct 19, 2010 by schoedan | Posted in Cleaning & Laundry

Should I use icy water and then a hot dryer, or warm water/warm dryer, etc. ?

It's the vehement drying that shrinks most fabrics. If the fabric is that delicate, then use cold/cold wash/rinse and a discriminating cycle on the dryer or, even better, hang it to dry. Just use a regular plastic or wood hanger since metal can rust
