New Transparency Resource for Connecticut Taxpayers
Monday, February 8, 2010 3:43 PM
Our friends at the Yankee Institute have launched a new transparency resource for Connecticut taxpayers.
Modeled after the increasingly popular template first used by the Maine Heritage Policy Center and the Empire Center for New York State Policy, the free-market think tank has created CTsunlight.org, which provides the following features:
- Visit PAYROLL to review the salary expenditures for each state agency for calendar years 2007 and 2008.
- Use CHECKS TO BUSINESSES AND PEOPLE to examine each line item of state government spending by agency, branch, and year.
- Information about payments to RETIREES is found on the retirees tab.
