Who Wants to Pay and Who Wants to Default on the 38 Studios’ Bonds
Thursday, May 15, 2014
The question of whether to pay -- or not to pay -- the debt on the 38 Studios bonds is turning into a heated debate in the Ocean State.
On Tuesday, Governor Lincoln Chafee blasted those opposed to paying back the $75 million bonds on the failed video game company, going as far to say that certain gubernatorial candidates "weren't fit to be Governor."
Critics on the other side of the argument are criticizing leaders who want the debt paid, saying that bondholders -- not taxpayers -- should be footing the bill.
