Municipal bond funds going foreward ?

With our tax rates most likely on the rise - would any of you add Municipal bond funds in the face of raising rates?

    always has been part of my diversified portfolio. the absolute rates are too low now of course, but that's the curse of any higher quality fixed income investment. so there is a need to weigh investment thesis/ value vs. the need for tax free income. Also, the investing public has been expecing higher rates for a while... many of the closed-end leveraged muni funds moved from the consistent discount to a fairly consistent premium in recent months.
