Your state's credit rating

Where does your state fall on the credit rating scale? Interesting that the east coast has a string of AAA ratings, while the west has a cluster of states with no general obligation government bonds at all (those appear to be the states with low population densities). Also noteworthy: states can't declare bankruptcy, while cities and municipalities can. Yields on munis have certainly become more attractive, but I'd look to GO bonds over revenue bonds tied to a specific source of income (they lack the full faith and credit of the governmental entity).
