From the Tennessee House Republicans press release:
NASHVILLE – House Minority
Leader Jason Mumpower (R-Bristol) and House Republican Caucus Chairman Glen
Casada (R-Franklin) challenged House Democrats to pull the pork spending out of
the budget. They also called upon the Governor to submit a “no new
taxes” budget.
“It’s time to be honest
with Tennesseans,” stated Mumpower on Wednesday. “The people in
this state are being told that in order to fund education, we must have a $219
million tax increase. As evidenced here, that is simply not true.”
Both leaders emphasized their
commitment to challenging House Democrats to live within their means, cut the
pork, and reduce the sales tax on food.
