Providence Mayor Jorge Elorza’s plan for a $704 million bond issue to use to bring the city’s pension system to 65 percent funded from its current scary level of about 25 percent makes a lot of sense in today’s low-interest-rate environment. The plan would include the option to refinance the loan if circumstances warrant.
But the Rhode Island General Assembly needs to act fast in the waning days of this session to approve it. Interest rates will rise.
This might be a way to avoid municipal bankruptcy, though some would argue that such a nuclear explosion is needed – to wipe the slate clean of irresponsible labor contracts and other deals going back decades that have long held back the city’s ability to address important physical-infrastructure and social needs. In any event, the Elorza plan seems reasonable and careful in current circumstances.
