How Much Is The Covid-19 Test Costing Connecticut's Taxpayers?

There was more bad economic news for Connecticut Taxpayers this past week.  Connecticut Taxpayers are not able to find out how much Covid-19 tests being given are costing the state.  $50 million dollars of Connecticut Taxpayers monies is being spent on six different vendors Covid-19 tests.  The Office of the State Comptroller has redacted at least six public contracts at the request of vendors who state their prices for taxpayer-funded tests shouldn’t be publicly disclosed because that information is considered a "trade secret" not subject to public disclosure.   How this is possible is beyond economic logic and comprehension?  I am under the belief that if Connecticut Taxpayers monies are being publicly spent then that information becomes public knowledge?  We apparently have now a defacto Lamont ruled state government whereby no information is forthcoming to Connecticut Taxpayers unless it has been approved by Lamont and the Boston Consulting Group (due to their secret state consulting contract that was enacted by Lamont).  Obviously our democracy in Connecticut has been suspended due to the "crisis" powers of Ned Lamont and his political/business friends that now rule the state.
I wonder how many of these six vendors have had investments made by the Oak HC/FT hedge fund that Ned Lamont and family have a financial interest in?   Since we as Connecticut Taxpayers are paying for these tests do not we not have a right under our Connecticut State Constitution to know what is being spent?  Or are Connecticut's rules and laws conveniently forgotten about when it can benefit either the Lamont's or the Connecticut Democrat Party?  In this case it seems to be.
I take this loss of Connecticut Taxpayers freedom of information to know where our tax money is being spent along with a disregard of the loss of personal freedoms due to this "crisis"  to be a serious attack on the legal citizens of our state.  To me it is also against the laws that govern the state.
The real "crisis" in Connecticut today is not Covid-19.  It is the imploding financial crisis of an impending $4 to $6 billion dollar budget deficit for the coming Fiscal Year 2020-2021 along with massive state unemployment, a massive loss of businesses along with the $145 billion dollars in short and long term debt along with unfunded liabilities Connecticut has.  What is Ned Lamont and his political/business friends going to do about that?  Anything?  Is Boston Consulting Group working on it for another $2 million dollar Connecticut Taxpayer funded secret contract?  Are we going to be looking at the sky is the limit new and higher taxes for the remaining legal citizens and businesses of the state?  What are the solutions being offered by our elected officials?  Do we have elected officials any more in Connecticut or do we now live in a dictatorship?  I really wonder.
We are now almost thirty years into a state income tax that was going to solve all of Connecticut's economic problems.  We are now almost thirty years into a never ending economic depression and recession that has been inflicted upon us year in and year out by a Connecticut Democrat Party that has no concerns other than pure authoritarian rule over its people.  
Oh and by the way I still want to know how much we are paying for these Covid-19 tests?
