Bond Ratings versus Bond Default Ratings: My Opponent’s Ignorance is Putting Winter Springs at Risk

Understand Bond Ratings versus Bond Default Ratings – At the Tuscawilla Forum, my opponent didn’t just confuse bond ratings with bond default ratings once—he did it repeatedly. That’s not just a little mistake; it’s a flashing neon sign that he doesn’t know how to handle our city’s finances. And that ignorance? It’s dangerous.

What’s the Real Difference?

• A bond rating (think AAA) shows how trustworthy a bond issuer is when paying back debt.

• A default rating tells you how likely they are to fail.

Mixing these two up is like confusing your credit score with your risk of bankruptcy. It’s reckless, and it shows a complete lack of understanding. But that’s just the tip of the iceberg.

What’s worse, this confusion isn’t limited to my opponent. At two recent commission meetings, several politicians on the dais, including my opponent, made the same mistake—only to be corrected by our new Finance Director, a professional with over 150 business, finance, and accounting credits, just like me. Instead of appreciating her expertise, my opponent, his wife, and their surrogates publicly attacked her.

Why It Matters

The importance of a qualified Finance Director can’t be understated. When you have people attacking the expert here to protect our city’s finances, it shows you just how desperate and out of touch they are. If you don’t know the difference between a bond rating and a default rating, you have no business making decisions for Winter Springs.

My Opponent is Clueless—and That’s a Risk

Let me spell it out: my opponent doesn’t get it. If he can’t grasp something as basic as bond ratings versus default ratings, he can’t be trusted with the financial future of Winter Springs. Period.
