Moody's downgrades Chicago debt to 'junk' with negative outlook
Moody's downgraded Chicago's credit rating down to junk level "Ba1" from "Baa2."The announcement, which the ratings agency released Tuesday afternoon, cited a recent Illinois court ruling voiding state pension reforms. Moody's said it saw a negative outlook for the city's credit.Following that May court decision, Moody's said it believes that "the city's options for curbing growth in its own unfunded pension liabilities have narrowed considerably."
