True, now may be a better time to issue replacement taxable bonds. However, the current bondholders would presumably claim that the lower current interest rates have increased the value of their existing bonds and thus the current bondholders' losses from the Center Districts' breach of the Districts' warranty that the current bonds are tax exempt. Furthermore, who knows what interest rates will be when, and if, it is necessary for the Center Deistricts to issue replacement bonds. In summary, it cannot be predicted how the issuance of replacement bonds, if that becomes necessary, would work out--but it wouldn't be pretty.
