Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist and a who's-who of top-shelf Tennessee Republican fund-raisers lined up behind cash-strapped GOP gubernatorial candidate Jim Bryson Thursday. Frist sent an e-mail to supporters Thursday through his VOLPAC political action committee asking people to "step forward for Tennessee and support Jim Bryson for governor."The story includes a snarky remark from the Bredesen campaign about its "Republicans for Bredesen," but that's a list of mostly unknown Republicans who aren't known for their fundraising prowess. Bryson's list includes some of the most successful fund-raisers in national GOP history. Posted in Tennessee Government News

B-Ho, See my comments over at RealJimBryson. Also see pieces on this subject at Volunteer Voters and Nashville for the 21st Century. It looks like Jimbo has put together an inner circle for the income tax. Justin Wilson was deputy governor for Sundquist. He wrote the income tax bills. Ted Welch is an avowed income tax supporter. You have noted in the past that Jim Henry was a lobbyist for the income tax. Winfield Dunn spoke in favor of an income tax during the 1970 campaign. As governor, he formed a tax commission that recommended an income tax. Dunn encouraged the General Assembly to implement that recommendation. It looks like Jimbo is in neck deep with the income tax Republicans. Posted by: MiltonFree at June 30, 2006 8:47 AMPost a comment
