Governor: I Like Spending Your Money.

tnflag.jpgIn a moment of complete candor while announcing a $1 million state grant to help restore The Hermitage, the historic former home of Andrew Jackson, Tennessee Gov. Phil Bredesen admitted what he loves best about being governor:

"One of the great things about being governor is you get to take taxes away and later give it back and people are happy. Is this a great job or what?"
It sure is, governor. You get to spend other people's money. It is, however, unseemly to rub taxpayers' noses in it, even in jest.

Exit question: What historic house is occasionally the site of the Tennessee Democratic Party's annual Jackson Day Dinner?


Comments

Don't sound so shocked. We Nashvillians warned you about how he was even before he was elected Governor the first time. You have nobody to blame but yourselves. Those Titans that the voters were so happy that Phil brought here have really turned out to be a bargain in so many ways, haven't they?
