Fitch: “….bond rating reflects the County’s  ‘aaa’ financial resilience assessment. The assessment is based on the County’s ‘ample’ budgetary flexibility and Fitch’s expectation that it will maintain unrestricted general fund reserves equal to at least 7.5% of total spending.”

Moody’s: “The Aaa issuer rating reflects the County’s large and robust local economy…Its 2024 reserve position of 28% of revenue is a record high and was generated through conservative budgeting and strong revenue performance.” https://t.co/XKj9dwTPWD

S&P: “Montgomery County’s credit profile remains stable, despite regional economic uncertainty and expected reserve drawdowns over the next few years. Ongoing local economic growth and diversification support high incomes relative to national averages.”

Really important message from @mcpnews.
A legitimate news outlet would not have posted that video. It’s important to think about the impact before sharing sensitive content publicly. My heart goes out to the family of the victim.
