The Muni Halftime Show: States at the Semiquincentennial

As the U.S. approaches its 250th anniversary, we’re reviewing the financial health of select states. While strong credit ratings generally prevail, emerging issues from federal funding shifts and rising costs demand careful management by states.

Join us for the Muni Halftime Show—because nothing says “semiquincentennial celebration” like a deep dive into state budgets and bond spreads. We’ll discuss:

  • Municipal bond market performance in the first half of 2026.
  • Structural forces influencing muni credit and issuance trends.
  • State budgetary challenges and how officials are responding.
