The grades are in for Belleville’s finances…..and the final mark is an A+. The Standard and Poor report will be presented to council this afternoon….giving the city top marks for its steadily improving economic performance and low debt burden. Since 2005, Belleville has earned a steady rating of A+. Among the concerns detailed in the report are Belleville’s high taxes relative to household income and ballooning capital expenditures of 84-million dollars this year compared to 15-million in 2007.
