Governor Bullock: "We cannot ignore what has ensured our fiscal strength"

Bullock highlights renewal of Montana’s sterling bond rating by national rating agency

Governor Steve Bullock today highlighted Standard & Poor’s recent renewal of Montana’s high AA bond rating and warned legislators that he will not accept a budget that puts the state’s fiscal standing in jeopardy.

"This is a timely reminder to all legislators that we cannot ignore what has ensured our state’s fiscal strength: maintaining a healthy rainy day fund, making sure we don’t spend more than we take in, and using best practices to govern responsibly," said Governor Bullock. "Montana’s strong record of fiscal management means we can leverage dollars to invest in priorities – like infrastructure – to build Montana communities and create thousands of jobs across Montana."
