State budget under Bredesen’s axe, voice your opinion to representatives
Dear Editor:
Here we go again? On April 29, 2008, a story aired on WMCT news at approximately 2:50 p.m. that stated Governor Bredesen is going to have to cut $500 million from the state budget. He is asking a federal court judge for permission to cut TennCare (Again!) and has axed his $25 million Pre-K program. This is his last term, so he isn’t worried about re-election, but we have to worry about where his axe lands. Our opinions do count and make a difference. To voice your opposition call:
Governor Bredesen 1-615-741-2001
Rep. Jason Mumpower 1-800-449-8366, ext. 12050
Sen. Ron Ramsey 1-800-449-8366, ext. 12468
Thank you,
Timothy Poteat
