"," Pasadena Star News via San Gabriel Valley Tribune, June 7, 2019: The Center for Business and Policy Research's Jeff Michael was quoted in this story about Inglewood taking on $36 million in new debt without voter approval. Michael commented on how pension obligation bonds can be risky even when handled properly. Michael, who studied Stockton's bankruptcy, said Inglewood's decision to issue pension obligation bonds is concerning since cities across the state are struggling to deal cover CalPERS payments. "It raises a question of what they're going to do in the next year and the year after that," he told the Star News. The story was shared by other outlets, including the San Jose Mercury News, Los Angeles Daily News, Orange County Register, East Bay Times and the Daily Breeze (Torrance).
"," The Sacramento Bee, May 28, 2019: The Center for Business and Policy Research's Jeff Michael said Sacramento Mayor Darrell Steinberg's bond proposal is unlikely to actually bankrupt the city, but it could cause "big fiscal problems down the road." "It's a risky plan, no doubt about it," Michael told the Bee. "It would take another great recession to kick the city into bankruptcy, so I wouldn't necessarily predict that, but I think there's certainly a pretty strong risk that 10 years from now, future mayors are slashing city services and might be looking back at the decisions being made right now as part of the cause."

And later in the story, "The main thing that we're hoping for is not that there are going to be a whole lot of prosecutions" and that legislative reforms "will greatly reduce the number of incidents that could potentially lead to prosecution."
