Call for hearing(s) to investigate impacts of City's credit downgrade to finances and borrowing costs
S&P Global downgraded the City's general obligation debt to BBB amid economic uncertainty, potential tariffs, and concerns over the 2025 budget's imbalance, one-time fixes, soaring pension and personnel costs, and massive debt load. The City's Committee on Finance is called to investigate impacts on borrowing costs for the $1,250,000,000 in bonds approved in 2024 and steps for financial stability and responsible fund management.
