Open Budget Hearings
Governor Phil Bredesen
Tennessee Governor Phil Bredesen will kick off his seventh round of open state budget hearings on Monday, Nov. 17, at the State Capitol in Nashville. Each department or agency will present its proposed budget for the 2009-2010 Fiscal year, which begins July 1, 2009.
Upon taking office in 2003, Bredesen made a commitment to open the budget process to give Tennesseans full view of how their tax dollars fund state government.
