Plan to reorganize Tennessee finances proposed by Bailey
Nashville July 12 Governor McAlister could see bold reforms as C W Bailey head of the Tennessee Taxpayers Association urged a five point plan to reorganize state financial agencies. A seven member finance and taxation board would appoint a director for the department and oversee budget processes. A merit based division of personnel would supply state workers and a chief state auditor would collect due revenues. Bailey claimed immediate adoption could save hundreds of thousands yearly and boost revenue by several million in Tennessee like North Carolina has done recently.
