I think this latest development is significant in that a major part of the dispute was the IRS position that the VCCDD and SLCDD were not political subdivisions and therefore not eligible to issue tax free bonds. This stance applied a standard that was not in effect at the time the bonds were issued and now the IRS agrees not to apply the new standard retroactively.
Well done!
