State Employees Face Delayed Pay Sept 1 Amid Cash Shortage
Nashville August 3 AP Comptroller Roy Wallace warned Gov Horton that warrants drawn on the general fund will be withheld until the treasury permits payment. The treasury is overdrawn by 136000 with $281000 in fees turned over by the Department of Insurance and Banking. Funds needed include $250000 payroll, $93000 UT salaries, Confederate pensions around 1710000, and operating expenses. Nearly $1,000,000 in general funds is tied up in closed banks and state aid to county schools plus recent legislative appropriations are unpaid. The emergency follows Tennessee’s costliest legislature lacking a revenue bill after repealing a property tax that raised about 3500000 yearly.
