State Comptroller Nancy Wyman today issued her annual report on state finances, The Comptroller's Report: Connecticut's Economic Health.

Wyman's report is designed to give citizens a common sense view of Connecticut's fiscal condition and outlook for the future.

"This report can help citizens hold government accountable by showing them in very plain terms where their hard earned tax dollars are being spent," Wyman said. "I am hopeful that it encourages readers to participate in the democratic process that affects every citizen of Connecticut."

The report is available on the Comptroller's website, osc.ct.gov, under the heading Comptroller's Reports. Hard copies may be obtained by calling 860-702-3301.

In the report, Wyman details a variety of state economic issues, including:

• Why the state is facing a budget deficit after years of huge surpluses.
• Where state government spent General Fund revenues in fiscal year 2001.
• How the economic downturn may affect residents' health care coverage.
• Why a diverse workforce and industry base position Connecticut for economic recovery.

The State Comptroller appreciates input on this and other issues from residents of the state. Please feel free to contact her office by phone - (860) 702-3300; mail - OSC, 55 Elm Street, Hartford, CT 06106; or, via E-mail - osc.opinions@po.state.ct.us
