How the administration’s proposal would affect muni bonds

Q

Of concern is the Obama Administration’s proposal to limit the tax advantage of owning municipals only to those individuals in the lowest income tax brackets. If such a proposal becomes law, it would, most assuredly, adversely impact the municipal market in general. Has FMS expressed a position on this significant matter?

N.M.
