Stewart Breaks Down The Session

State Senator Eric Stewart lets y’all know how he and other other lawmakers did up at the Plaza this session:

Make no mistake: We knew we could not meet every need with the revenues available. But as tight as state finances are, we worked with Gov. Phil Bredesen to find a way to pay for things that could ease some of the pain being felt by Tennesseans.

We can look at the victories that we did win for Tennesseans and see hope, though. As we attract more industry to Tennessee, we will see more good-paying jobs.

With paychecks in their pockets, workers will spend money in our local economies. And as business grows, so do our state revenues.

As your public servants, we, like you, look toward better times when we can better serve your needs and help secure a stable future for your families.
