	Rebuilding NYC - brought to you by Gotham Gazette
		Bloomberg has yet to tell the public his own plans for the $800 million in bonds he controls, saying only that he is considering charging developers who receive Liberty Bonds a three percent fee.
		Looking to influence how the mayor spends his $800 million, the City Council released its own Liberty Bonds proposal, calling for over half of the apartments built with Liberty Bonds to be affordable.
		When issuing the Liberty Bonds, Congress did not say that any of the housing built downtown must be affordable.

	The Court Service - Court of Appeal - Civil - Judgment
		Liberty's case was that, to the extent that it had discharged by payment any of its surety bonds given to the bank, it was entitled to be subrogated to the bank's security under its fixed charge pari passu with the bank's claims on OMMIA.
		Liberty claims to be entitled to reject any liability under its bonds given in respect of such requests, at any rate beyond the first year, on the ground that its engagement relates only to the admiralty bond requested and not to the admiralty bond given in excess of OMMIA's authority.
		Although the terms of Liberty's internal memorandum of July 1997, with its emphasis on the conditional nature of admiralty bonds, is suggestive, I doubt that it is admissible against the bank for the purpose of an objective evaluation of the surety bond's matrix.

	Bonds, by Clifford W. Smith: The Concise Encyclopedia of Economics: Library of Economics and Liberty
		Bonds can be sold with any maturity, but their maturities at issue typically exceed five years.
		Bond rating agencies (for example, Moody's) provide an indication of the relative default risk of bonds with ratings that range from Aaa (the best quality) to C (the lowest).
		Revenue bonds are backed by a specifically designated revenue stream, such as the revenues from a designated project, authority, or agency, or by the proceeds from a specific tax.

	Cult of Liberty
		The liberty they seek is not the legitimate and due liberty from the burdensome constraints of socialistic governments, which a citizen may rightfully desire, but rather freedom from the authority of God, the "freedom" of the devil, the liberty of perdition, as Saint Augustine called it.
		The Liberty Cap was confirmed as the symbol of radicalism in the French Revolution, when it became the fashionable attire of anyone who was in favor of the Revolution, and finally of the bloodthirsty and cruel Jacobins, the leaders of the Reign of Terror.
		Liberty cannot be defined, then, as the ability to choose between good and evil, for if that were its definition, we would have to say that God is not free, since He cannot choose evil.

	Junk Bonds, by Glenn Yago: The Concise Encyclopedia of Economics: Library of Economics and Liberty
		Bond ratings measure the riskiness of bonds (that is, the chance that the issuer will be unable to make interest payments or repay the principal).
		Bonds with more A's are less risky than bonds with fewer A's, and the highest rating (for Standard and Poor's) is AAA, or triple-A. Credit risk is based on a multitude of factors, many of which are linked to performance in the past.
		For one thing, they held enormous appeal for borrowing companies because publicly issued bonds typically carry lower interest rates (because they are more easily resold) than private placements, and they also tend to impose fewer restrictions on the actions of the borrowers (known in the argot of finance as restrictive covenants).

	Liberty Bonds: Rebuilding Lower Manhattan
		Finally, Liberty Bonds used for construction may benefit from the preferential rules afforded to construction financing, so net earnings from investment of bond proceeds during a project's construction period do not have to be rebated to the Treasury Department if the bond proceeds are spent within two years of the issuance of the bonds.
		Bond proceeds can also be used to acquire existing buildings; however, in that case, the bonds must also finance rehabilitation costs equal to not less than 50% of the financed acquisition cost.
		Recently, Liberty Bonds in the amount of $100 million were sold by the New York State Housing Finance Agency to finance the construction of new residential rental housing in the Liberty Zone.

	IRS Liberty Bond Clarification Could Move Projects Forward
		An economic development official familiar with the matter said that the IRS clarified that while most of the Liberty bond authorization is intended to finance commercial developments, including hotel and retail developments that do not traditionally qualify for tax-exempt financing, the eligible costs financed by these bonds should be treated as exempt facility costs.
		Yesterday's IRS notice also made clear that Liberty Bonds issued before Jan. 1, 2005, to currently refund outstanding Liberty Bonds do not count against the $8 billion volume limitation on the program as long as the amount of the refunding bonds does not exceed the outstanding amount of the bonds being refunded.
		But the guidance stopped well short of the request by New York authorities that Liberty Bonds should be allowed to refinance on a tax-exempt basis any outstanding taxable debt that had been incurred to finance properties in the designated Liberty Bond area.

	The New York Times
		Weisbrod said, the fact that Liberty Bonds could be applied only to rental buildings ''skewed the decisions of developers from home-ownership product.'' That is important, he said, because ''ownership units provide a much greater stake in the community and much less transience -- not to say we don't welcome rental buildings.''
		Issuance of the bonds was divided between the city Housing Development Corporation and the state Housing Finance Agency.
		The city Housing Development Corporation is considering a $130 million bond issue for the residential portion of the project, at 170 William Street.

	Congress extends $8b Liberty Bonds program Real Estate Weekly - Find Articles
		Liberty Bonds, which have provided cheaper financing for both big and small developments for the past three years, aren't going anywhere for a while--that is, except towards more development.
		Issued by the US government to encourage economic recovery after the city was rocked by 9/ 11 and the subsequent recessionary economy, tax exempt Liberty Bonds, which have been instrumental in prompting a number of recent massive development projects, have been extended by Congress five years past their original December 2004 expiration.
		Although the $6.4 billion allocation of commercial Liberty Bonds was a considerable sum, experts in the financial industry feel that the allotment's failure to be completely absorbed in three years was more a function of the economy than its size.

	Commercial developers clamor to cash in as clock ticks on city's Liberty Bonds Real Estate Weekly - Find Articles
		While the $1.6 billion of Liberty Bonds allotted for residential development was quickly snatched up--before any of the commercial portion was even touched--Liberty Bonds dedicated for commercial projects, which enjoyed a much more sizable $6.4 billion apportion, have lagged.
		But not all Liberty Bond projects are located in the Liberty Zone, the area in Lower Manhattan where the city and state hoped to encourage revitalization after the devastation wreaked by 9/11.
		Expansion of where Liberty Bond projects can be built seemed necessary to finding a home for the bonds and also for encouraging citywide development, both of which are indicative according to financial experts of a more fundamental problem: a still sputtering economy.

	Pratt Center: Liberty Bonds
		We are here to urge the New York State Housing Finance Agency not to approve the use of liberty bonds in assisting the completion of these projects and instead urge the HFA instead to hold public hearings on a plan to make best use of the $800 million in Liberty Bonds within the State's discretion.
		The Liberty Bonds were meant to help rebuild and revitalize the city in the wake of the unprecedented disaster of 9-11 and as such and in consideration of the City's financial and housing crisis, it is imperative that they be used to their maximum public benefit.
		We need to think creatively and utilize the Liberty Bonds to leverage other federal, state and private resources for housing development that help to retain and enhance the area' s mixed income population.
