The COPs will cost taxpayers tens of millions more to finance than general-obligation bonds would. And legislative leaders admit that the projects will mostly break ground years from now, invalidating any argument based on urgency.</p></blockquote> Tue, 08 Jul 2008 13:42:19 -0400 jonoflocke comment 8101 at http://projects.newsobserver.com
