STATE OFFICIALS ARE DISTORTING THE ECONOMIC TROUBLES FACING TENNESSEE.
December 13, 2008 - 08:33
Tennessee has collected more revenue to date than the state collected last year at this point. That's right. More money than last year. But they increased PROJECTIONS of how much we would collect by a higher rate than we have achieved. So we are short of PROJECTIONS, but ahead of where we were last year. The shortfalls they are now projecting for NEXT year are based on the projected increases this year plus the projected increases next year. The state budget in 2003 was 20 BILLION DOLLARS. It is now at $27 BILLION. That is an increase in my book. CLICK HERE. |
