Gov. M. Jodi Rell today announced that she has created a new Web site that gives taxpayers to opportunity review the entire two-year state budget, follow the most up-to-date changes and make recommendations on how to make state government more efficient.
“We welcome scrutiny. We welcome ideas,” Rell said. “These are challenging times that require leadership and ingenuity. Now is not the time to fight over who gets credit. This is not my budget, nor the Legislature’s. It belongs to the taxpayers of Connecticut who have a right to be part of the process, and most importantly, the solution.”
The interactive budget can be accessed by clicking on the “Budget Forum” link on the governor’s Web site at: http://www.ct.gov/governorrell/site/default.asp. One of the prime features is the “Submit Ideas” section that provides an online suggestion form for the public to share suggestions on anything from the overall budget to state services.
