Bond Defaults Follow Cook County's Property Tax Delays
Cook County's transition to a new property‑tax software delayed bill issuance and collections, compressing cash flow for local governments. The delay forced East Dundee & Countryside Fire Protection District to miss its Jan 15 principal and interest payment on its 2021 series bonds. Moody’s responded by cutting the district’s rating to speculative‑grade B1, while Assured Guaranty covered the insured portion of the default. A county‑wide Bridge Funding Program offered interest‑free loans, but eligibility constraints limited uptake, highlighting systemic operational risk in municipal finance.
