TN Budget Hearings
Submitted by Todd Hash on Wed, 11/18/2009 - 12:37pm.
There will be at least two dominant drivers of activity at the General Assembly this spring, 1) the Governor's Race and 2) another exceptionally tight budget year with state revenues falling well below normal.
This week and next, Governor Bredesen will be conducting public budget hearings for TennCare, the Department of Education, the Division of Intellectual Disabilities and others state agencies. These hearings will provide early insights into the budget that will be proposed this spring by the Governor.
For those who can't come to Nashville, video of the hearings are available online. They are definitely worth a look.
