S&P Lowers Bond Rating For California
California's electricity crisis prompted Standard & Poor's to downgrade its rating on California's general obligation bonds from Double A to Single A Plus.
The state continues to be on credit-watch status. Two other rating agencies, Moody's Investor Services and Fitch, also have had the state on credit-watch status.
The downgrade might have been more severe but Standard & Poor but for the continuing prospect that billions of dollars in new electric-rate bonds will be sold, among other reasons.
