What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Fire District 3 successfully financed a new fire engine purchase in Naches, utilizing a program available through the Office of the State Treasurer. This program allows local governments to leverage the state's good credit to secure low-interest financing for large purchases, such as vehicles and real estate. The office offered the program at favorable rates, such as 1.9% for the $250,000 needed for the purchase.

The program functions by local governments entering into a contract with the Office of the State Treasurer, which pools agreements into Certificates of Participation. These certificates are then sold to investors, operating similarly to municipal bonds.
