Tax-free interest. This is a municipal bond, so its interest is generally
exempt from federal income tax (and often from state tax if you live in IL).
At a 37% federal bracket, its 4.08% yield is worth about a
6.47% taxable-equivalent yield. In other words, a fully taxable bond would need to pay
roughly that much to leave you the same after tax.
Illustrative, at one assumed bracket. Your own rate and any state tax change the figure; confirm with a tax professional.

PublicMunicipal bonds are sold to the public through a broker, usually in $5,000 minimums. Interest is generally exempt from federal income tax.
tax-exempt levelPriced at an indicative municipal level. High-grade munis typically yield below Treasuries pre-tax because the interest is tax-free (the muni/Treasury ratio); this is a model figure, not an observed market spread.
This bond is non-callable (a bullet), so yield to worst equals yield to maturity.
Credit context
A-Rating A- · outlook Stable (representative/indicative, not a live agency feed); drives the model spread
A general-obligation (GO) bond, backed by the full faith, credit and taxing power of State of Illinois.
Municipal credit is assessed differently from corporations (there's no income statement in the same sense), so the rating shown is representative/indicative. Real ratings, financial disclosures and official statements are published on the MSRB's EMMA.
