Harried in Harrisburg

According to a state official, the state’s capitol city, Harrisburg, has enough cash to last through November. The official noted that delaying payments to some vendors could help Harrisburg make it through the end of the year. The official, Fred Reddig of the Department of Community and Economic Development, which oversees the state’s distressed communities, also said the city may issue some tax anticipation notes (TANs) in January if banks are willing. Mr. Reddig said Harrisburg, which remains under state Senate is scheduled to begin hearings on the incinerator bond financings tomorrow.
