Fitch Withdraws Santa Maria, CA's Implied GO Rating

Fitch Ratings has withdrawn the 'AA+' implied unlimited tax general obligation (ULTGO) bond rating on Santa Maria, California as Fitch no longer considers the rating to be analytically meaningful.

Fitch previously assigned the implied ULTGO rating in conjunction with Santa Maria Redevelopment Agency 2003 refunding lease revenue bonds that are no longer outstanding.
