Gov. Phil Bredesen will hold his fifth round of open state budget hearings beginning Thursday, Nov. 30, at the State Capitol.
The proceedings can also be viewed live on the Governor's Web site (www.tennessee.gov/governor).
Upon taking office in January 2003, Bredesen "made a commitment to open the budget process to give Tennesseans full view of how their tax dollars fund state government," his office said.
"Tennesseans have the right to see how their hard-earned money is spent," Bredesen said. "Open and accessible budget hearings give everyone a front-row seat at the proceedings. I'm proud that in the past four years we've been able to produce balanced budgets, fund our priorities, like education, and live within our means. It's the same fiscal responsibility practiced every day by Tennessee families."
