text: believe the article is mistaken, the funds are not to pay debt but payment of current expenses.  believe this is the first time the city is issuing debt to pay for current expenses because the GET surcharge collections are in sufficient and the fTA monies are not being paid as planned.  previously, hart used GET collections and fTA funds to pay contractors for work completed. the expenditures are exceeding the collections so debt must be incurred to keep the contractors working.
