It's actually an upgrade to AA-, not A+. Double-A-minus is higher than single-A-plus!

Hmm, the first comment (documenting how the article went out un-proofed) got wiped away. However, you still missed one, Jen: He also told the Citizens Budget Commission that the rating "give me a smile on my face every once in a while." Normally I think the sloppy writing is kind of charming, but you should at least own up to it and not erase the comments.

Practicality finally convinces New York of it's benefits. I love it.

It's actually sort of refreshing to see a politician sell the importance of a reasonable (others may say 'high') tax rate. Very odd to find that in a politician these days, or at least find a politician willing to make the argument.
