1 General obligation bonds are government debt issued to raise money to finance public improvements. It is a municipal bond backed by the credit and "taxing power" of the issuing jurisdiction, rather than the revenue from a given project. No assets are used as collateral.
2 Revenue bonds are government debt used to fund projects that will eventually generate revenue directly. These revenues are used to pay off the bonds. 
 
* Includes interest for general obligation bonds estimated at 4% rate on tax-exempt adjustable rate bonds and at 6% rate on taxable adjustable rate bonds which are the rates at the end of the fiscal year.
