BBC NewsThe leader of Leicestershire County Council has reassured taxpayers it will get its £5m loan back from Northamptonshire County Council.
The authority lent its neighbours the money but now Northamptonshire County Council is facing allegations of financial mismanagement.
A report last week recommended it should be abolished and replaced with two unitary authorities.
So what does this mean for the money Leicestershire lent them?
Well, Byron Rhodes has told the BBC: "I appreciate that there is some disquiet and we've taken action to carefully review the loan.
"Our professional view is that despite Northamptonshire County Council's situation, there is no realistic prospect of the loan not being paid back."

Leicester lose to Chelsea in FA Cup quarter-finalspublished at 09:31 Greenwich Mean Time 19 March 2018
BBC Leicester SportIt was heartbreak for Leicester City yesterday evening when the Foxes crashed out of the FA Cup after a 2-1 defeat to Chelsea after extra time.
Defeat came late on when Pedro headed in the winner for Chelsea.
Speaking after the quarter-final at King Power, Foxes manager Claude Puel said: "I'm a bit upset at the moment because I think we deserved another result.
"They found a good, clinical edge. Morata's goal was the only chance of the first half, it was harsh to concede just before half-time. But we came back with more calm and more quality."

Sean Clare
BBC political producerEach year, thousands of asylum seekers are rehoused across the UK. But in some areas residents say they are not happy with the influx or the lack of communication.
Ajit Atwal opposed a plan to convert a student halls of residence in Derby into an Initial Accommodation Centre for 225 asylum seekers.
"It's a fantastic area, very-close knit community. One of those areas where all the neighbours are on first name terms with each other," he said.
Hundreds of people signed a petition against the centre, but it opened and the first arrivals began moving in last month.
Ajit says they have had little information from private security firm G4S, which runs the centre.
"They should've consulted with people and given reassurance that 'we're here to work with you and any concerns you've got come to us directly. You can get on with life and the refugees here can get on with their life'."
In a statement, G4S said that before the centre opened it "held a public consultation event and gave regular statements to local newspapers who covered the planning process", and later attended a public meeting to update residents on its progress.
