What? (Puerto Rico Edition)

posted by Stephen Lubben

So former Senator Judd Gregg has an op-ed in The Hill opposing the administration's plan for a territorial version of chapter 9. In the piece, he tells us "[a]ny bankruptcy bill for Puerto Rico would punish retirees whose pension funds invested in these bonds because they were tax-free."

Tax free retirement funds investing in tax free bonds?  Now we are just making stuff up.

Bankr-L

  • As a public service, the University of Illinois College of Law operates Bankr-L, an e-mail list on which bankruptcy professionals can exchange information. Bankr-L is administered by one of the Credit Slips bloggers, Professor Robert M. Lawless of the University of Illinois. Although Bankr-L is a free service, membership is limited only to persons with a professional connection to the bankruptcy field (e.g., lawyer, accountant, academic, judge). To request a subscription on Bankr-L, click here to visit the page for the list and then click on the link for "Subscribe." After completing the information there, please also send an e-mail to Professor Lawless ([email protected]) with a short description of your professional connection to bankruptcy. A link to a URL with a professional bio or other identifying information would be great.
