I spent some time yesterday afternoon explaining the significance of the bond ratings to a person on the SF Chronical staff and provided that person with some websites for the Fitch and S&P reports.

It's completely amazing to me that it would be necessary to do that.

Maybe for the York, Nebraska Weekly Cornhusk, but not for the SF Chronicle.

Good work, nonetheless!

It wasn't the reporter who did this story.

It was an editor and I suggested he team a business reporter with a political reporter to do an indepth story. I am hoping that the Suday paper will have an interesting story.

The editor told me they were thinking of doing more stories (beyond the Friday story) on this topic, but intended to wait until the bond issue official was on the street and bonds were being offered. I tried to explain that there was still a heck of a story to tell, just in what the rating agencies had said.
