The Grand total of the bonds that were approved is $8,752,535,000.00, Yes that is eight BILLION Dollars. Now take that out over 30 years and with an interest rate of 5.25% and you are looking at nearly 22 Billion when all interest is included. The sad thing is the state just certified a budget with an 8 Million dollar surplus, and here we are looking at payments in the area of 750 Million a year on this obligation alone....
I know the answer to this, but do these people realize that this money will be coming out of their paychecks and mortgage payments in the form of property and sales taxes...
