I actually already own those companies and am talking about having a muni bond fund as part of a dividend growth strategy, not replacing it. While I'm not too afraid of the share price dropping over time (great opportunity to buy more; I've never cared about capital gains), the fact that the dividends have been cut over time is definitely a bad thing.
I think you answered your own question. NRK doesn't pay an increasing dividend, in fact it pays a decreasing one. I don't see how it would get any consideration as an investment in a dividend growth portfolio.
If you were at retirement, were investing for an income, and had the investment in a cash account where taxes are a concern, I could possibly see where NRK would have its place, but if you are young and looking for a 10/20/30+ year time frame, I don't see how NRK would be attractive.
Again, just one man's opinion.
