Due to a processing issue, CTHRU Statewide Payroll and CTHRU Statewide Spending currently do not reflect up-to-date information. We are working to resolve the problem. Payroll and spending information are being collected and will be restored to the portal when the issue is resolved. Until that time this information is available upon request through our public records request portal. Thank you for your patience.
