Please explain relationship between bonds and municipal property taxes. If muni taxes based on property values are halved, for example, doesn't that increase risk of bond ownership? what does that do to the market value of the bond?

What is your opinion about i-Savings bonds? They yield a ~5% return and have the "security" of Sam, and are fixed to inflation.
Do you suspect, like I do, that the government is lying about inflation?
