Budget Transparency Web Site Catching On

By Jacqueline Rabe
www.ctmirror.org

A fresh idea is catching on at the State Capitol: budget transparency. A searchable database of the state’s checkbook. Available online for free.

Kind of like the one set up a month ago by a conservative think tank.

The new Web site created by the Yankee Institute for Public Policy showing all state expenditures, including payroll, has drawn thousands of viewers since it appeared Feb. 8. It also has drawn complaints from some, including legislators, of inaccuracies.

Rep. Demetrios S. Giannaros, D-Farmington, said the site overstates his wife’s salary as a part-time teacher at Tunxis Community College by $130,000. Similarly, the legislative salary of Rep. John E. Stripp, D-Weston, is over-reported by about $12,000.
