Joe Mysak, who has been covering municipal bonds for 43 years, is retiring at the end of next month from Bloomberg News.
Mysak joined The Bond Buyer in 1981 as a copy editor and learned about municipal bonds from the ground up, eventually rising to editor and publisher of the newspaper.
In 1994, he founded a series of municipal market-related biweekly newsletters, including Grant’s Municipal Bond Observer, for the Interest Rate Publishing Corporation.
In 1999, Mysak joined Bloomberg News as a columnist. He is the author of the book “Handbook for Muni-Bond Issuers” and the “Encyclopedia of Municipal Bonds.”
He also edited the daily Bloomberg Brief called “Municipal Market.”
