Public-safety building cost jumps to $81 million
Without turning to the public for support, the cost of a new public safety building would jump to $81 million, not including interest payments over 30 years, the new Palo Alto Finance Committee learned Tuesday night. Construction inflation has pushed the cost of the building -- to be located at 2785 Park Boulevard -- to $69 million by the time construction could begin by April 2009, according to a city staff report. But with debt financing, the cost jumps to $81.2 million, Deputy Administrative Services Director Joe Saccio wrote in a report. The city would also have to pay about $5 million in interest annually for 30 years, resulting in some service cuts, City Manager Frank Benest told the committee Tuesday. The city is considering financing the public safety building using "certificates of participation" (COP) after a preliminary poll showed the needed two-thirds of voters are unlikely to approve a bond to pay for the new 50,000-square-foot building.

Wall Street off to glum 2008 start
Only weeks old, the new year is already nudging its way into Wall Street's record books. Far from welcome news, however, the stats only underscore the nervousness investors are feeling about the economy. A week that began with a 172-point jump in the Dow Jones industrial average gave way to a 277-point plunge Tuesday and a 307-point slide on Thursday. Meanwhile, the Standard & Poor's 500 index, the index closely watched by market professionals, is on track to show its worst-ever performance in January. With the stock market having stumbled badly in the last three months of 2007 amid the escalating housing and credit crisis, no one predicted 2008 would have a robust start. But few expected the string of bad news that has made January nothing short of miserable. Last week's economic readings pointed to little else but a broad slowdown.
Asset-based lenders notice business boost

But there are a few bright spots in the finance arena, and asset-based lenders occupy one of them.
These firms make business loans secured by accounts receivable, inventories, equipment and other assets, though usually not real estate. .

Not that the margin matters, but, symbolically, it would be helpful if everyone understands that people voted against the casino.... One major note in this meeting was the "Orange Shirts". Money came from somewhere to emblazon stickers, hats, and t-shirts with the slogan "vote YES for Middleboro's future" adorning several dozen attendees. An IBEW bus dispatched about a dozen such people right as my bus was letting off, all with matching chairs and carrying spring water. We entered the registration area together in front of my bus. They did not register or receive a ballot, but sat with Middleoboro residents and participated in voice and hand votes.... (Photos courtesy of BlueMassGroup.
