Odom Calls “Technical Correction” A Tax Increase

By Kleinheider Posted on May 12, 2008 at 8:44 am

The House Majority Leader has announced that he will be opposing a provision of the Bredesen Administration “technical corrections” bill, calling it a tax increase. Ben Cunningham opines:

This so-called technical corrections bill is NOT about technical corrections, it is about tax hikes, plain and simple. Governor Bredesen has already said ”I’m not going to ask for new taxes to solve this problem.” I call on Governor Bredesen to stand by the this no tax hike pledge and oppose these back door tax hikes.

Odom is, of course, rumored to have his eye on Speaker Jimmy Naifeh’s chair. This kind of bold move has to be seen with that in mind.

Some advice for Hobbs and Cunningham, in the immortal words of Will Ferrell: “Suck one!”

The day this state takes advice from rabid, hyper-partisan jerks off like you is the day I move to Arkansas.
