“In 2010, officials at the West Contra Costa School District, just east of San Francisco, were in a bind. The district needed $2.5 million to help secure a federally subsidized $25 million loan to build a badly needed elementary school. Charles Ramsey, president of the school board, says he needed that $2.5 million upfront, but the district didn’t have it. ‘Why would you leave $25 million on the table? You would never leave $25 million on the table.’ In the West Contra Costa Schools’ case, that $2.5 million bond will cost the district a whopping $34 million to repay.”
