Glendale's Financial Outlook Improving

Some good financial news for the city of Glendale, Moody’s Investors Services has upgraded the city’s financial outlook from negative to stable.

The city is still carrying a high debt burden and Moody’s says the city’s operating funds remain weak but are improving.

Additionally, the city's now permanent sales tax rate increase to a 1.9 percent rate from 1.2 percent will continue to provide more revenue to support operations according to the credit rating company.

Al Macias, former KJZZ news director, retired as KJZZ's news director in 2022. He rejoined the station as a features reporter in 2023 and also as a part-time editor in 2024.
