S&P AAA Rating

Arden Hills stands as a beacon of fiscal responsibility and stability. However, this election season, untrue statements are being told and circulated, a claim that our city is on the verge of losing its S&P AAA bond rating.

This is simply untrue.

It demonstrates a fundamental misunderstanding of how these ratings are earned and maintained. The AAA rating is not a gift; it is the result of strong, disciplined leadership, transparent budgeting, and an unwavering commitment to our taxpayers. Arden Hills didn’t just stumble into this position; we earned it through rigorous financial stewardship in 2018 and again in 2025. Let’s keep the campaign grounded in facts, not driven by fear.
