just had its 3 x AAA bond rating re-affirmed:
For the tenth straight year, Arlington has scored a financial “triple-triple.†All three major bond rating agencies have just affirmed Arlington’s AAA bond rating, the highest rating available.
[ . . . ]
Arlington is one of only 35 counties across the country that has a triple AAA rating. It allows the county to borrow money at the lowest possible rates.
Now, it’s not lost on me that I’ve roundly criticized the bond-rating agencies elsewhere, but if you’re a relatively small county that can manage to convince all three that you’re doing it that well? Â You’re doing something right.
Arlington isn’t perfect, but seriously, if the world had our problems, it would be a better place.

Maybe now its residents can afford something better than brown flip-flops….
