District 158 bond plan on hold:

A plan to restructure costly building debt in Huntley Unit District 158 is on hold. The district explored trading its capital appreciation bonds, which generate compound interest payments, for cheaper simple-interest bonds. But the district's bond consultant said this month that because of the instability in the municipal bond market, the plan was not "economically feasible." The district, the consultant said, would have had to spend a lot of money to trade in the bonds. "The last thing anybody needs to do is to spend money on something that was good in theory but not in practice," said Eric Anderson of Harris Bank.
