Connecticut has 1,137 state employees who are paid more than the governor and 175 retired state employees who collect pensions of more than $100,000 a year. These facts and hundreds more are now publicly available online at the state spending transparency website ctsunlight.org. Now anyone can investigate where every tax dollar spent by state government goes and it's searchable and downloadable. The Yankee Institute created CTsunlight.org following a massive Freedom of Information Act request for data covering calendar 2007 and 2008. Yankee Institute says, "We believe transparency and disclosure of how government spends tax dollars puts downward pressure on spending, which in turn keeps taxes low. We call our website CT Sunlight because we believe sunlight is the best disinfectant." Click here CT SUNLIGHT to access the site. |
