« 90 Seconds | Main | Well Said » May 23, 2007Statehouse Dems Lying About GOP's No-New-Taxes Budget Plan?
The Democrats' "comparison" of their plan with the GOP plan includes false information about the GOP plan, according to state Rep. Glen Casada, R-Franklin. Casada says House Democrats are still trying to justify a 40 cent cigarette tax to their members now that their members have seen the Republican "no tax" budget that funds education first and still makes other improvements to the budget. In fact, according to Casada, the House Democratic leadership is lying to their members saying that the House Republicans don't have funding for higher education capital improvements and that Republicans can't fund education, employee raises, etc. without a cigarette tax increase. You can see the Democratic documents here and a comparison of the competing budget plans prepared by Republicans here. Posted in Tennessee Government News

I have received copies of some budget documents passed out Tuesday night to Democratic members of the state House which outline their budget proposal and purport to compare it honestly to the House Republicans' budget proposal released last week. The House Democrats have not released an actual budget document, as the Republicans did, but merely a summary.
