On the latest episode of the Debtwire Municipals Muni Lowdown podcast, Managing Editor Paul Greaves and Curation Editor Stephanie Fagnani speak with Andrew Flynn, managing director of California Municipal Advisors about the municipal market.

Andrew provides a brief overview of his role as a municipal advisor.

The discussion shifts to Andrew sharing his “tree analogy” that explains his financial advisory approach with public sector clients.

Andrew then segues into his view of muni market health now and what level of concern he has around the increasing frequency and intensity of climate risk events.

The conversation turns to Andrew’s perspective on the recent ratings actions by S&P Global Ratings with the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power.

Andrew transitions into how he advises his public sector clients to contemplate and address pension fund liabilities.

The podcast closes with Andrew offering his contrarian perspective on challenges that “places of growth” (California, Texas, Nevada, Arizona, etc.) will face during an economic downturn.
