City and school debt rose; County debt fell

The state total is broader than the City GO-and-CO headline on the Debt page because it also includes utility-revenue obligations.

Ownership evidence

What is known, what is searchable, and what stays private

A role in the transaction is evidence of that role only. Paying an intermediary does not prove the intermediary owns the bonds.

Debt + spending connections

Known market intermediaries in the City payment ledger

These are reproducible payee-name connections. The payment memo and underlying invoice still determine whether an item is debt service, an advisory fee, or another service.

Connection, not ownership. These rows show that City checks name the intermediary. They do not establish beneficial ownership and are not automatically classified as bond principal or interest.
