Famous Chapter 9 Bankruptcy
A San Jose bankruptcy lawyer makes note of a famous Chapter 9 Bankruptcy
Chapter 9 bankruptcy is only available to municipalities. Since its creation in 1934, there have been several famous Chapter 9 bankruptcy filings. The most recent and famous Chapter 9 bankruptcy was Vallejo, California’s filing in 2008. Vallejo was faced with decreasing tax revenue, rising pension costs, and strong public-employee unions. Two years later, Vallejo is now emerging from its bankruptcy, unfortunately not much stronger than its pre-filing status.
Other famous Chapter 9 bankruptcies include Orange County, California in 1994 and Desert Hot Springs in California due to lousing a housing discrimination lawsuit. Prichard, Alabama is another famous Chapter 9 bankruptcy premised upon its inability to fund its pension plans. Topping the list of weird famous Chapter 9 bankruptcy filings would include Moffett, Oklahoma, which was forced to file for Chapter 9 bankruptcy due to its inability to issue or enforce traffic tickets.
