Reduced
the burden on taxpayers, businesses and future
generations for funding the State’s long-term financial
obligations through
smart investments, strong financial management, enhanced
accountability and fiscal discipline.
Saved $4
billion by reducing the State’s higher interest debt,
the cost borne by Connecticut employers to finance the
State’s Second Injury Fund, and by putting the
Teacher’s Retirement Fund on sound fiscal footing.
Invested
State money prudently in Connecticut businesses, helping
to restore and bolster the economic viability of
Connecticut’s communities and expanding the
State’s tax revenue base.
Served
as a catalyst for improving the availability of
asset-building strategies for low-income populations of
our State, the overall
financial fitness of Connecticut families and businesses
and the strengthening of consumer protection.
Led
the way in promoting responsible corporate behavior
on Wall Street and in urging leading global
companies in which our State pension fund invests to
address issues such as reigning in excessive
executive compensation and other
business sustainability issues
that impact a company’s long-term financial health,
shareholder value, workers and the economy.
