    Duration, interest rate and tax impact. I assume you are just looking to park money somewhere for a period of time?

    What about regular treasury bonds? If you live in a state with an income tax the interest paid on the treasuries would be free of state income tax. Are you in a high enough tax bracket to justify buying a municipal bond over a treasury bond? Also note that municipal bonds are not as safe as treasuries so there is a credit component that needs to be taken into account.
