Light a Candle For Lafayette

The Advertiser carries a brief report on the state of the fiber bond rating process currently going on in New York.

The initial reaction from bond rating agencies that will rate revenue bonds used to finance the project was positive, LUS Director Terry Huval said…

A good rating means that Lafayette is a good risk to potential investors. It also means the city’s bonds will have a lower interest rate and will cost less to pay off.

That’s good news. This is vitally important. Though they are low profile, these negotiations will determine the cost of the single most expensive element of the fiber to the home project: the cost of the money. A good bond rating will mean a low interest rate.

Seriously, go light a candle. (I’ve got a St. John the Conquerer candle that I save for special occasions. It didn’t seem to hurt during my dissertation defense. 🙂 I’m going to go light it now.)

I ɑm continually searching online for posts tһat сan hｅlp me.Thanks!the dream is big and needs all to support. thank youthank you for sharing. i appreciate your philosophical approach. you have given me more ideas.i am also a physics and peace educator. my approach is focusing on the physicists themselves: my learners explore the dilemmas that physicists face, the way they interact with the issues contemporary to them, the values and attitudes they embody. For example, when we study Einstein’s energy-mass relationship, we learn of the evolution of Einstein’s thinking when it comes to nuclear energy and using it as a weapon of mass destruction.
