About Municipal Bonds
Municipal bonds (also known as “munis”) are attractive to many investors because the interest income is exempt from federal income tax, and in many cases, state and local taxes as well. In addition, munis often represent investments in state and local government projects that have an impact on our daily lives, including schools, highways, hospitals, housing, sewer systems and other important public projects.
