In den WarenkorbPaperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. Every year, local governments across America issue over $400 billion in municipal bonds to fund essential infrastructure-schools, hospitals, roads, and water systems. At the center of this massive market stands a small circle of specialized attorneys who effectively determine which projects receive financing and under what terms. In this explosive expose, renowned municipal finance expert Michael Lissack reveals how pervasive conflicts of interest and verification failures among bond counsel have evolved into systemic fraud, diverting billions in public resources away from critical infrastructure needs. Through detailed case studies of high-profile municipal failures-from Jefferson County's sewer crisis to Detroit's bankruptcy-Lissack demonstrates how law firms alternating between representing municipalities and underwriters create inherent conflicts that compromise independent judgment and harm taxpayers. Drawing on decades of insider experience, including his landmark whistleblower role in exposing the yield burning scandal, Lissack offers a comprehensive roadmap for reform. His proposals for mandatory separation of roles, enhanced verification standards, and strengthened regulatory oversight provide a practical framework for restoring integrity to this essential market. At a time when America faces over $5 trillion in infrastructure needs, this groundbreaking analysis comes at a pivotal moment of regulatory reconsideration. It makes a compelling case that reforming bond counsel practices is not merely a technical legal issue but essential to ensuring that public finance serves the public good. ESSENTIAL READING FOR: Municipal officials and government finance officersInvestors in municipal securitiesPolicymakers concerned with infrastructure financingLegal ethics and financial regulation expertsTaxpayers interested in how their communities fund essential services"A devastating critique of practices that have gone unchallenged for too long. Lissack's insider expertise and meticulous research make this required reading for anyone concerned with how America finances its infrastructure." This item is printed on demand.

In den WarenkorbPaperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. The $4.3 trillion municipal securities market finances America's critical infrastructure-our schools, hospitals, roads, and water systems. Yet despite its importance, this market operates under a fractured regulatory framework that has repeatedly failed investors and taxpayers alike. Drawing on five decades of evidence, this book presents a compelling case for abolishing the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board (MSRB) and returning its functions to the Securities and Exchange Commission. Through meticulously documented case studies and data-driven analysis, the author demonstrates how the current bifurcated structure-where the MSRB creates rules but lacks enforcement authority-has enabled market manipulation, disclosure failures, and exploitation of regulatory gaps. From the VRDO rate-rigging scandal that cost municipalities billions, to "phantom bonds" where proceeds never reached their intended public purpose, to systematic pension disclosure deceptions by state governments, this book reveals a disturbing pattern of regulatory failure. These are not isolated incidents but predictable outcomes of an inherently flawed framework. The solution is clear: a unified regulatory approach under the SEC would provide integrated oversight, enhanced investor protections, and greater accountability. The Tower Amendment's limitations on municipal issuer regulation would remain intact, respecting federalism while restructuring oversight of market participants for greater effectiveness. This essential reform would protect both investors and municipal issuers while ensuring that our public financial markets serve their true purpose-responsibly funding the infrastructure that underpins American communities. "A devastatingly thorough critique of municipal market regulation and a pragmatic roadmap for reform." This item is printed on demand.

In den WarenkorbPaperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. Dive deep into the subtle, insidious ways public resources are manipulated, stolen, and misallocated-not by shadowy villains, but through systemic incentives and everyday complacency. Decades before "drain the swamp" became a rallying cry, I warned of a government overwhelmed by complexity, captured by special interests, and disconnected from the public good. What was true in 1994 unfortunately remains true today. From mismanaged subsidies and infrastructure boondoggles to institutional inertia that breeds inequality, my analysis foresaw the populist waves reshaping today's political landscape. Reading this timely reissue helps decode the frustrations that drive modern American voters-and outlines how we might restore accountability and purpose to governance. Discover how yesterday's insights illuminate today's political upheavals. t's not a scandal; it's systemic-and it's costing us all. Key Takeaways: The same systemic misalignments I identified in 1994 continue today, now amplified by technological and economic changes.Populism is not irrational rage, but a rational response to unaccountable systems and perceived abandonment.Without a shared goal like quality of life, governance becomes aimless, extractive, and ultimately illegitimate.The theft is still happening-only now it's harder to see, easier to justify, and more dangerous to ignore.
