Bond Allocation Database
A
Message from State Comptroller Sean Scanlon
Welcome to the State Comptroller's Bond Allocation Database Web Site.
This project started as an internal resource for my staff to track bond
fund allocations over time. We wanted the ability to examine and
categorize this information in a variety of ways. Examples include by
date, use of funds, program area and recipient category - including by
municipality.
As the design and implementation phases progressed, I decided the
public should have access to this information as well. The result is this
database, which can be searched directly from
the Comptroller's web site. This database is part of my ongoing initiative to open the
state's books to citizens, public advocates, academics and the media in
order to enhance their important oversight role in the government's system
of checks and balances.
Knowledge is power and with this open-book initiative I am honored to
return a piece of that power to its rightful owner - the people of the
State of Connecticut.
