Yankee Institute
Government in Hartford, CT
The Yankee Institute has just updated its CTSunlight.org Website to include 2009 pension data for all retired state employees. The original data was supplied by the Comptrollers Office in response to a Freedom of Information Act request made by the Yankee Institute. In 2008, 175 individuals received pensions worth at least $100, 000. That number rose to 299 people in 2009 and is expected to continue rising, Government workers receive compensation and benefit packages that are much more generous than those available to private sector workers, said Fergus Cullen.
