ZIRP continuing to destroy local government finances... its a bad idea.
The Stanford study found that the states of Illinois, Arizona, Ohio and Nevada, and the cities of Chicago, Dallas, Houston and El Paso have the largest pension holes compared with their own revenues.

With lower interest rates, a 7.5% return is unrealistic. -US faces ‘disastrous’ $3.4tn pension funding hole -https://t.co/hA5Za8uTln via @FT— Pierre Lemieux (@pierre_lemieux) April 11, 2016
