KBRA Assigns AA Rating to County of Erie, NY General Obligation Public Improvement Serial Bonds, Series 2025A and General Obligation Refunding Serial Bonds, Series 2025B; Affirms Rating for General Obligation Bonds
NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--KBRA assigns a long-term rating of AA to the County of Erie, NY General Obligation Public Improvement Serial Bonds, Series 2025A and General Obligation Refunding Serial Bonds, Series 2025B. KBRA additionally affirms the long-term rating of AA for the County's outstanding General Obligation Bonds. The rating Outlook is Stable. Key Credit Considerations The rating actions reflect the following key credit considerations: Credit Positives Stable general fund unassigned fund balance above the Charter requirement of 5% of the prior year's general fund expenditures. Diversifying resource base that has shown resiliency during periods of economic stress. Strong fiscal management controls and sound pension funding metrics contribute to expenditure flexibility. Credit Challenges Heavy reliance on economically sensitive sales tax revenues. A portion of the sale tax must additionally be reauthorized every two years, but the County has a track record of uninterrupted authorization dating back to its initialization in 1985. The statutory limitation in the rate of increase in the property tax rate has the potential to adversely impact expenditure flexibility. The timing and amount of intergovernmental fund transfers to ECMCC are outside of the County's control. Rating Sensitivities For Upgrade Improved internal liquidity and increased revenue-raising flexibility. Continued maintenance of available reserves above required levels. For Downgrade Deterioration in liquidity position. Inability to achieve structural budgetary balance due to a decline in economically sensitive revenues or lack of flexibility in reducing operating expenditures. Significant budget stress through an economic downturn due to reliance on economically sensitive sales tax revenues and State statutory limitations on property tax growth.

Lemonade Announces Successful Renewal of Reinsurance Program
NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Lemonade, Inc. (NYSE: LMND), the digital insurance company powered by AI and social impact, announced that its reinsurance program is being renewed. Given strong progress in the company's diversification, underwriting prowess and loss ratio trajectory, the Company has chosen to reduce the ceded proportion of its quota share reinsurance from approximately 55% to approximately 20%, effective July 1. The variable ceding commission rate related to the quota share agreements is expected to be roughly equivalent to that of the expiring agreements. The program covers all Lemonade businesses globally, and the primary quota share carriers will remain unchanged. 'This year, we continued to reduce our reinsurance overhead, which is a reflection of how much stronger and more precise our tech based underwriting and pricing machines have become,' said Shai Wininger, Lemonade's President and cofounder. 'Reinsurance comes at a cost, and thanks to years of steady improvements, we're now in a position to retain more of the risk ourselves, improve margins, and stay capital-light—all while continuing to work with some of the world's top reinsurers.' The Company expects to renew its other ancillary reinsurance programs, including Property Per Risk (PPR) coverage, at terms roughly in line with expiring agreements. The new program will be in effect for a standard 12-month term. About Lemonade Lemonade offers renters, homeowners, car, pet, and life insurance.

Ex-Hochul, Cuomo aide accused of being Chinese spy stays free as feds push new charges in $8M PPE kickback scheme
There's something new under the sun. Linda Sun, the embattled ex-aide to Govs. Kathy Hochul and Andrew Cuomo accused of being a Chinese spy, will stay free on bail after facing a federal judge Monday on fresh bribery charges. Sun her husband Chris Hu both pleaded not guilty during a four-minute proceeding in Brooklyn that set the stage for a potentially sprawling trial focused on accusations she served as a foreign agent for the People's Republic of China and Chinese Community Party while working at the highest level of New York's government. A federal grand jury last week returned a superseding indictment that added more charges against Sun and Hu after the feds said they reaped $8 million in a COVID-era personal protective equipment kickback scheme. Advertisement 3 Linda Sun and Christopher Hu pleaded not guilty to new charges Monday in Manhattan federal court. Gregory P. Mango 'Not only did Sun allegedly use Chinese money and her influence in New York State to benefit the Chinese government, it is further alleged that she used her position to steer multi-million-dollar contracts to companies controlled by family members and friends,' said Harry T. Chavis, Jr., special agent in charge for the Internal Revenue Service's criminal investigation office in New York. The two Chinese-based PPE vendors that Sun steered contracts toward were respectively run by her second cousin and Hu and his business partner, the feds alleged. Advertisement Sun allegedly even altered an email to claim one company had been recommended by a China-based chamber of commerce, when it actually was run by her second cousin, prosecutors said. The cousin had allegedly given $2.3 million in kickbacks to Sun and Hu, the feds contended. 3 Sun's trial is scheduled to begin a day before her former boss Andrew Cuomo is on the ballot for New York's mayoral election. Luiz C. Ribeiro for New York Post 3 Gov. Kathy Hochus office fired Sun in 2023. Gabriella Bass Advertisement A judge kept Sun's and Hu's respective $1.5 million and $500,000 bonds — which they posted after they were first charged in September with acting as foreign agents for China — intact, meaning they'll remain out of federal jail until trial. Sun, 41, who wore a blue dress, entered a not guilty plea alongside Hu, 40, during the latest arraignment. Their trial is scheduled to begin Nov. 3 — a day before New York City's mayoral election in which Sun's former boss Andrew Cuomo remains on the ballot as an independent, despite being drubbed by socialist Zohran Mamdani in the Democratic primary. Advertisement Sun also worked for the governor's office under Kathy Hochul until 2023, when she was fired after misconduct accusations surfaced. 'This individual was hired by the Executive Chamber more than 10 years ago. Her employment was terminated in March 2023 after discovering evidence of misconduct, her actions were immediately reported to law enforcement and we have assisted law enforcement throughout this process,' a spokesperson for Hochul said in a statement.
