County, Fla., and fears of flooding in Clinton Township, Mich., because not enough storm sewers are being built. State and local governments spend roughly $26 billion a year to build schools, hospitals, roads, sewers, airports and the like, and last year they raised almost $11 billion of the sum by selling bonds.
