San Diego gets S&P blessing on credit Agency restores city rating and borrowing opportunity signonsandiego.com May 16, 2008 Four years after flatlining, San Diego's borrowing ability was revived instantly yesterday when a ratings agency restored the city's credit and removed the biggest obstacle to a backlog of capital improvements. The action marks Wall Street's greatest show of faith in city finances since 2004, when plans for new libraries, fire stations and a range of repairs were scuttled amid credit problems caused by pension and accounting scandals. Mayor Jerry Sanders, who is in the midst of a tough re-election campaign, said the news from Standard & Poor's, one of three major credit-rating agencies, marked “the most significant day” for San Diegans in four years.
