Phil Bredesen on Tax Reform

Democratic TN Governor

Balance state needs--without an income tax

I believe state government must balance available resources with the increasing demands of education, job creation, health care and other vital priorities--without an income tax. My budget and management priorities include:

Submitting a balanced budget.
Preparing for economic downturns.
Rebuilding investor confidence.
Maintaining a hands-on approach.
