Budget/Financial
 
Items 12 to 15 are Go bonds sold mainly for one-year cash flow. This is because the city will receive property tax payments twice annually. It's similar (except for the timeline) to using your credit card for a monthly purchase and then paying it back when the debt payment is due the next month. Fishers is in a solid financial position with a AAA bond rating. A strong rating equals a low-interest rate on a loan.
