Try investing in the companies that manufacture or sell non-seasonal,
standardized, durable commodities to the government. Especially, look for
those companies/entities that have non-competitive contracts, etc., with
local governments. You don't have to look much further than Mpls. as an
example (ala 30 yrs of non-compete garbage hauling), since gullible
taxpayers/voters, assuming a good deal, don't seem to mind paying the bill!
Stop lights; how about blacktop, sewerage, parks landscaping, community and
economic development services.... for similar 'investment analysis.'
