AUGUSTA Governor Janet Mills and State Treasurer Henry Beck announced Monday that Moody’s Investors Service and S&P Global Ratings, global companies that analyze and issue reports of credit worthiness, have affirmed Maine’s strong credit ratings and stable outlooks on the State of Maine’s general obligation debt.
Moody’s affirmed both their Aa2 rating and stable outlook while S&P affirmed their AA rating and stable outlook.
In its affirmation, S&P praised Maine’s “active budget management” and the State’s “steady progress in strengthening its reserve profile” while noting that the State’s cash pool is “very good.”
AUGUSTA Governor Janet Mills unveiled Wednesday her Administration’s Part 2 budget for the Fiscal Year (FY) 2022-2023 biennium, a proposal that makes a historic investment in Maine public schools and meets the State’s obligation to pay 55 percent of the cost of K-12 education for the first time in Maine’s history.
If approved by the Legislature, the achievement would come more than 15 years after Maine voters first passed a referendum directing State government to pay 55 percent of local school costs.
The Governor’s proposal would not only finally meet the State’s obligation for the first time ever, but would also increase desperately-needed resources for cash-strapped schools and hold down local property taxes, according to a news release.
