See some of the comments below, and watch the related webinar recording from our discussion page.

Question 3: How would entrepreneurs view tax-exempt debt differently from municipal governments, and how will their resulting investment behavior differ in response to the option to use tax-exempt debt?

"Tax-exempt investors would probably view these bonds as similar to PCR/IDR (Pollution Control Revenue/Industrial Development Revenue) bonds which are tax exempt bonds issued by for profit entities like utilities to finance projects and facilities. Because of their hybrid nature, historically, tax-exempt investors often under value these bonds because they are not as familiar with the corporate entities as they are with municipalities...." - Gary Krellenstein, J.P. Morgan, Oxford Advisors
