Montana tops in fiscal prudence, study shows
June 28, 2014 /
Montana ranks as the most fiscally prudent state in the country, a study in Governing magazine shows.
A study by Michael Cembalest for J.P. Morgan sought to measure how much state governments owe in bonded debt and liabilities for pensions and other post-employment benefits such as retiree health care.
To see how all the states would stack up, he assumed a 6 percent return on pension investments (Montana’s assumes a return 7.75 percent), level annual payments and a 30-year term for paying down liabilities. Then he compared the states.
