The full report can be viewed HERE. Report says $90 billion in Build America bonds have been issued, with net present value savings of $12.3 billion compared to savings that regular tax exempt bonds would produce.

The complete list of bond issues organized by state is available in Excel HERE.

This report shows Oregon had only 2 bond issues for $22 Million vs 78 bond issues totalling $2.3 BILLION in Washington state.

In a prior post HERE, I projected that legislation enacted during the special session earlier this year MAY result in a substantial increase in the use of Build America bonds in Oregon.
