Budget Battle Shapes Tennessee Appropriations Bill Action
In Nashville the Senate Finance and Ways and Means Committee added 34 amendments to the state appropriation bill and sent it to the Calendar Committee amid opposition from department heads including Finance Commissioner Rosell Hippe who called the bill absurd. House sponsor Rep. Jack Comer touted a vote on the betting measure as decisive. The action trimmed Dunn's budget by about 314 million and reduced the working capital reserve, while education funding saw a major shift with teacher raises of 400 per year and 4 million set for a statewide Kindergarten program, despite Hippe urging reserve funding. A runoff election plan remains under consideration with three weeks after the primary as deadline. The sterilization bill was postponed for a week.
