It's been a pretty busy day for lawmakers in Tennessee -- or at least it appears that way. First, you may have heard a bill allowing permit holders to carry their guns on their person into establishments passed the House and Senate -- THE condition written is that the gun carrier DOES NOT consume alcohol. THEN, last week, Tennessee's Governor Phil Bredesen VETOED the bill. If I remember correctly, Wednesday's vote of 69-27 resurrects it -- into law.
On the flip side -- State financial guru's say they're thinking that about 100-million dollars MORE is needed from Tennessee's "Rainy Day Fund" to shore up this year's budget. Well, at least that's what they told the State House Finance committee -- this comes as estimates of May's tax receipts are tallied up -- Wasn't MOTHER's DAY in MAY?? AND Memorial Day -- the big white sales and shoes and the sale of all the season transitionals?
hmmm....could this translate into a whole different idea -- we just don't spend on mom? We just don't spend?
What does this translate to? More cuts? Or rather DEEP CUTS next year? I certainly do not envy, those wielding the ax and having to drop it on the chopping block.
