City of Boston is strong

Q

I heard that Boston, MA, will file bankruptcy? Is this true?

M.M., Missouri

A

James A. Klotz responds:

Boston’s general obligation bond ratings are “Aaa/AA+” and the city exhibits a strong financial position and a broad and diverse economy. There is no evidence to support Boston, MA, entering bankruptcy. I believe any report otherwise is factually incorrect.
