How stressed out is the checkbook in your hometown or school district? The New York comptroller's office recently finished scoring nearly 2,300 governments and school districts and tabulated their fiscal stress levels.
There are 142 municipalities in some level of fiscal stress, according to Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli.
The comptroller says the percentage score, with 100 percent being as stressed out as a municipality can get, is an 'early warning system.'
