S&P puts San Francisco on negative outlook, cites slow recovery – Washington Examiner
(The Center Square) – S&P Global Ratings changed its outlook for San Francisco’s outstanding bonds from stable to negative, citing the slow recovery in the city and county.
S&P Global Ratings, one of the Big Three credit-rating agencies, revised its outlook to negative from stable on the San Francisco City and County outstanding general obligation debt.
“The negative outlook reflects our view of the slow recovery of the city’s major revenue streams and growing budgetary expenditures that will likely lead to continued general fund shortfalls and draws on existing reserves if management doesn’t make substantive budgetary corrections in the near term,” the S&P Global Ratings report stated.
Despite the city’s strong reserves, S&P remains concerned about the city’s ability to correct course.
“The city forecasts consecutive deficits in the coming years that could, in the absence of corrective action or a materially stronger revenue recovery, substantially drain its reserves with evidence of an emerging structural imbalance, resulting in a weaker credit profile,” according to the report. “The recent general fund deficit in fiscal 2023 as well as the forecasted deficits in the city’s five-year forecast, is a consequence of the stagnant economic recovery in the city’s downtown center, which has weakened property tax and business tax growth, coupled with an absence of sufficient budgetary corrections.”
Making the right changes could prove difficult, S&P said.
“We believe the city will be challenged to make the cuts needed to fully restore budgetary balance during the outlook horizon and support a delicate economic recovery that leads to robust growth in underlying revenues needed to support the city’s growing budgetary costs,” according to the report.
Happy Mother’s Day to all the McCoven who hopefully have better things to do than watch this dreadful baseball team. But if this is your chosen way of spending the day, then welcome, and may the Giants beat the Pittsburgh Pirates to win the series for you.
Right-hander Tyler Mahle takes the mound for the Giants, as the veteran makes his eighth start of the year. He’s 1-4 on the season, with a 5.00 ERA, a 4.91 FIP, and 34 strikeouts to 18 walks in 36 innings. He was very strong his last time out, pitching 5.1 shutout innings against the Tampa Bay Rays.
For the Pirates, it’s right-hander Bubba Chandler, a 23-year old in his second season. In seven starts this year, Chandler is 1-4 with a 4.76 ERA, a 5.60 FIP, and 31 strikeouts to 26 walks in 34 innings. Chandler gave up two runs in five innings against the Arizona Diamondbacks in his last game. He has issued the most walks in the Major Leagues, so he’s probably foaming at the mouth to face the Giants, who apparently believe that drawing walks is a sin on par with murder.
Enjoy the game, everyone. Go Giants! Go moms!
