Budget Director Defends Impounded Funds Economy Claim
Nashville May 18 Budget Director Henry Burke said state administrators have become more resourceful and economical as $7.3 million in funds are impounded. He explained impounded means budgets are reduced not actual money taken, and no new hires are funded by the cut. The fiscal year budget was $20.9 million with $2.45 million impounded at the start, and he warned departments to curb spending while noting no quarrel with him. He denied immediate knowledge of a curtailed University of Tennessee blood bank in Memphis but suggested any closure would stem from the impounded funds.
