Moody's proposes to take a big step toward treating taxpayers fairly in rating bonds that finance essential public projects.
"This is a major advance toward fairness for taxpayers, better information for investors and greater stabilization for our capital markets," said Treasurer Lockyer. "I commend Moody’s for taking this step, and for its thoughtful, reasoned response to the concerns of municipal bond issuers. We look forward to providing comments on the proposal. We will work to ensure the system Moody’s adopts for taxpayer-backed bonds places primary emphasis on the risk of default."
