These highest possible ratings highlight confidence in the county's strong fiscal management and help us save taxpayer dollars by securing lower interest rates on bonds.   We have received a AAA rating every year since 1977. Only 104 counties nationwide currently hold AAA ratings from two or more rating agencies. Learn more: https://lnkd.in/g_VEFicP
