The State of Wyoming has outstanding $250,000,000 in 5.5% GOs which are callable at par one year out. The financial officials of the state are concerned that today’s 4% rates won’t be available to the state a year from now when the state will be permitted to call the 5.5% issue. To avail itself of today’s 4% rates, the state issues 4% GO bonds today in sufficient quantity to afford the call a year from now, escrowing the proceeds of this new issue in short term government securities for one year, at which time it will use those funds to call in the 5.5% issue.
