加州的Stockton市成为迄今为止进入破产程序的人口最大的市!
先前比较有名的是阿拉巴马Jefferson county。如果有越来越多的美国城市宣告进入破
产保护,赖账,人们对这个国家的金子般的信誉和信心真是越来越让人怀疑了。
A federal judge on Monday allowed Stockton, Calif., to become the nation's
most populous city to enter into bankruptcy.
U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Christopher Klein said in a Sacramento courtroom that
he had accepted the city's bankruptcy application.
Bankruptcy will likely allow the city to avoid repaying its debts in full.
Lawyers for the creditors argued that the city had not cut enough spending
or sought a tax increase to avoid bankruptcy.
Attorneys for the city countered that the city's budget and services had
been cut to the bone.
Klein heard closing arguments in the case last week. http://www.cnbc.com/id/100578156
