Statement from Gov. Phil Bredesen; June 25, 2010:
“I’m very happy about the fact that Tennessee, one more time, passed a sensible, realistic budget during very difficult economic times. In the end, there were some items in the budget that weren’t the business decisions I would have made, but they aren’t bad expenditures. In fact, some of these decisions help keep some people in jobs. The budget that was passed will produce a slightly larger recurring to recurring problem but that was the will of both parties of the legislature and that’s something that won’t create undue harm to the state. Overall, it’s a good budget and I’m pleased that we’ve shown ourselves wonderfully well in the budget process.”
