Long is a former municipal bonds blogger for Reuters and the founder of Puerto Rico Clearinghouse, a research and analysis resource for bondholders. She recently joined Benzinga’s #PreMarket Prep to talk about whether more cities will be filing for bankruptcy.
The first thing Long said was that it really varies for each city, but there are a few cities in quite a bit of distress right now. Areas like Scranton, Pennsylvania, she said.
But Pennsylvania doesn’t allow cities to go into bankruptcy without the state legislature's approval, she explained.
Long said it’s up to each city to look at its own condition. While there could be more bankruptcies because of the number of cities in distressed conditions, Long said that most cities do a reasonable job of curtailing expenses and getting revenues up.
