Legal Notices

Ah...the section of the newspaper between the obituaries and the comics that almost everyone skips over. Yet some of the best information is available here. Notice how the defeasement amount changed from $24 million on Jan 26 to $22 million on Feb 6? And has anyone examined Appendix A or B yet? And how about the line "The Resolution provides for an effective date of the Resolution and further repeals, rescinds and annuls all inconsistent resolutions of the School District.". Is this standard wording, or is it "Hellmann-proofing" the resolution to cover the Emperor's butt?

Does anyone know the name of this bond defeasement counsel that Hellmann is using?

I think his name is L. "Gordon" Walker. If this is the right guy, below is a link to his resume - he's a Managing Director at Public Financial Management (PFM) in the Malvern, PA office. Wonder what the "L" stands for?

For what it's worth, PFM has an outstanding reputation as investment advisors, especially in the public sector (thus their name, I presume).
