President-elect Promises to Keep TEBs
Tax exemptions on municipal bonds are hardly the sexiest political issue surrounding Donald Trump's transition. But the US Conference of Mayors, meeting with the president-elect at Trump Tower on Thursday, were surprised with welcome news when they pressed Trump to keep the exemptions.

Financing the Trump Infrastructure Plan
According to public finance and infrastructure experts, direct pay bonds similar to Build America Bonds, tax credits, P3s, and federal matching funds may wind up forming the backbone of Donald Trump's proposed 10-year $1 trillion infrastructure investment plan.

SEC Ends MCDC Settlements, Turns to Violators That Didn't Participate
The Securities and Exchange Commission will not bring any more settlements under its Municipalities Continuing Disclosure Cooperation initiative and will instead focus on those underwriters and issuers that did not voluntarily disclose violations under the MCDC.

Dealers, MAs Push for MSRB to Fix Proposed Rule Changes on Complaints
Market groups and firms are asking the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board to rethink proposed rule changes related to complaints, saying they should be adapted to better fit the differences in the relationships that municipal advisors have with clients and dealers have customers.

Muni Disclosure Responsibility Would Shift to Issuers in Draft Bill
Rep. Gwen Moore, D-WI, has drafted a bill that would reorient the entire municipal securities disclosure regime by making state and local government issuers or borrowers, rather than their underwriters, responsible for the disclosure of bond-related information.

St. Louis to Issue $108M in Bonds for NGA Project
The effort to build a new western headquarters for the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) in north St. Louis is moving forward. The U.S. Department of Defense is allowing the city to enter an option agreement with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for the property where the facility will be built. It also allows the city to issue some $108 million in bonds for the project.

A Roadmap for Muni Investors on Public-Private Infrastructure Partnerships
For municipal bond investors, the private sector's increasing role in financing public transportation projects may provide an opportunity. Here's a primer on how P3s work and how the muni bonds used to finance these projects could potentially offer yield and diversification opportunities.

Final Issue Price Regulations Significantly Change Current Rules
On Dec. 9, the IRS released final Treasury Regulations relating to the "issue price" of tax-exempt bonds for purposes of arbitrage investment restrictions.

VA Signs 50-Year Contract for $2.3B Toll Lane P3
