Statement from Governor Lincoln D. Chafee Regarding the Actions of Moody’s Investors Service

With that in mind, Moody’s action today demonstrates that those beyond our borders will continue to take notice of our efforts to make decisions in the interest of the long-term fiscal health of our state.
