  • Predictors of Municipal Bankruptcies and State Intervention Programs: an Exploratory Study
    PREDICTORS OF MUNICIPAL BANKRUPTCIES AND STATE INTERVENTION PROGRAMS: AN EXPLORATORY STUDY Laura N. Coordes* & Thom Reilly† Why do some struggling cities file for bankruptcy while others, facing similar circumstances, do not? This Article builds on the literature examining the causes and consequences of municipal fiscal distress by exploring specific factors that lead municipalities to seek help from the state and federal government. Viewing municipal opportunities and constraints through political, economic, and legal lenses, this Article helps to explain the nuances of municipal decision making. After identifying eight factors that may serve as predictors of municipal insolvency, we studied cities in fiscal distress with an eye toward uncovering the circumstances that led each of these cities into and, if applicable, out of, their financial predicaments. Union density, unfunded pension liability, and financial mismanagement were the three most prevalent factors in our sample population. Our analysis suggests that scholars and policymakers should focus their efforts on using bankruptcy relief in conjunction with state aid programs in order to address these primary sources of municipal distress more comprehensively. * Associate Professor, Arizona State University Sandra Day O’Connor College of Law.

Some postulate this could be due to a more detail-oriented cognitive style, which embraces an initial local processing of a scene when viewing events (Mottron & Burack, 2001). It has also been shown that constraining verbs, which can be mapped onto a limited number of objects in a scene, can lead to an anticipation of upcoming nouns in a sentence, as shown by anticipatory eye movements to the target object of the sentence (e.g., Altmann & Kamide, 1999).

They did not make it to the hospital in time; she gave birth to a boy on the train. Ms. Sarkar said, “It’s just that this guy had other plans, and he came out earlier.” On the train, her contractions came more quickly, and her husband looked and saw that the baby’s head was already coming out. After Ms. Sarkar gave birth, a little girl on the train offered her jacket to be used to keep the newborn warm. PATH officials directed the train to skip most of its stops, so that the couple and baby could get to the hospital quickly. Emergency personnel, including police officer Atiba Joseph-Cumberbatch, met the couple and newborn and took them to the hospital.
