_____________
# The percentage shown for each state represents the total market value of bonds held of issuers in that state, measured as a
percent of net assets, which does not include the net assets attributable to Preferred Stock of the Fund.
Credit ratings are primarily those issued by Moodys Investors Service, Inc. (Moodys). Where Moodys ratings have not been
assigned, ratings from Standard & Poors Rating Securities (S&P) were used (indicated by the symbol ). Pre-refunded and
escrowed-to-maturity securities that have been rerated as AAA by S&P but have not been rerated by Moodys have been
reported as AAA.
Escrowed-to-maturity security.
ø Pre-refunded security. Such securities that will be paid off within one year are classified as short-term holdings.
* Interest income earned from this security is subject to the federal alternative minimum tax.
VRDN (variable rate demand notes) purchased by the Fund may be put back to the designated remarketing agent for the issue at
par on any day, for settlement within seven days, and, accordingly, are treated as short-term holdings. These notes bear interest
at a rate that resets daily or weekly. At September 30, 2008, the interest rates earned on these notes ranged from 2.50% to 7.00%.
At September 30, 2008, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes was $215,587,617. The tax basis gross unrealized appreciation and
depreciation of portfolio securities were $2,459,628 and $11,500,592, respectively. Net unrealized depreciation was $9,040,964.
Security Valuation
Traded securities are valued at the last sales price on the primary market on which they are traded. Securities
for which there is no last sales price are valued by independent pricing services based on bid prices which consider such factors as
transactions in bonds, quotations from bond dealers, market transactions in comparable securities and various relationships between
securities, or are valued by J. & W. Seligman & Co. Incorporated, the Funds Manager, based on quotations provided by
primary market makers in such securities. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available (or are otherwise no longer
valid or reliable) are valued at fair value determined in accordance with procedures approved by the Board of Directors. This can
occur in the event of, among other things, natural disasters, acts of terrorism, market disruptions, intra-day trading halts, and extreme
market volatility. The determination of fair value involves subjective judgments. As a result, using fair value to price a security may
result in a price materially different from the prices used by other mutual funds to determine net asset value or the price that may be
realized upon the actual sale of the security. Short-term holdings maturing in 60 days or less are valued at current market quotations
or amortized cost if the Manager believes it approximates fair value. Short-term holdings that mature in more than 60 days are valued
at current market quotations until the 60th day prior to maturity and are then valued as described above for securities maturing in 60
days or less.
Fair Value Measurements
- On January 1, 2008, the Fund adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 (SFAS 157),
Fair Value Measurements. SFAS 157 establishes a three-tier hierarchy to classify the assumptions, referred to as inputs, used in
valuation techniques to measure fair value of the Funds investments. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels: Level 1 quoted
prices in active markets for identical investments; Level 2 other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices in inactive markets
or for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.); and Level 3 significant unobservable inputs (including the
Funds own assumptions in determining fair value). The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities may not be an indication of
the risk associated with investing in those securities.
The following is a summary of the value of the Funds investments as of September 30, 2008 based on the level of inputs used:

Risk
Fixed-income securities owned by the Fund are subject to the interest-rate risk, credit risk, prepayment risk, and market risk. To the
extent that the Fund concentrates its investments in municipal securities issued by a single state and its municipalities, specific events or
factors affecting a particular state may have an impact on the municipal securities of that state without affecting the municipal market in
general. For insured bonds, credit risk includes the risk that the issuer and the insurer would be unable to make, or timely make, interest
and principal payments.
Subsequent Events
- On November 7, 2008, RiverSource Investments, LLC (RiverSource Investments),
a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ameriprise Financial, Inc. (Ameriprise Financial), completed its acquisition (the RiverSource Transaction)
of the manager. As a result of the RiverSource Transaction, the Fund's management agreement with the manager has
terminated, and RiverSource Investments is the new investment
manager of the Fund under an interim investment management services agreement effective November 7, 2008
for a period of up to 150 days (through April 5, 2009) (the Interim Agreement). The Interim Agreement, which
was approved by the Fund's Board of Directors, will provide the Fund with continuity of portfolio management
and other services through April 5, 2009, during which time the Fund will solicit stockholder vote on a proposed
investment management services agreement between the Fund and RiverSource Investments (the Proposed
Agreement).
On September 3, 2008, the Fund's Board of Directors approved and recommended to the Fund's stockholders
the acquisition (the Acquisition) of the Fund by National Municipal Series, a series of
Seligman Municipal Fund Series, Inc., which, effective November 7, 2008, is also managed by
RiverSource Investments. On December 18, 2008, the Fund will hold a Special Meeting of Stockholders to
vote upon the Acquisition, the Proposed Agreement, and the election of directors to the Board of Directors of the
Fund.
