Some of the credit ratings are a surprise, some make sense if you know the history of the states. But are any reliable sources that would explain these ratings? My first impression viewing this table is that the rating agencies are prejudiced in favor of Republican, or "Red" states. I would hope there is another explanation, & it could be added to this article. -- llywrch (talk) 22:16, 7 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Just curious if you are surprised that Illinois is rated so low... 2601:246:8000:BB:5DB8:F210:47FC:3D4A (talk) 18:45, 19 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
