Gov. cuts jobs, hikes pay

NASHVILLE - Gov. Bill Haslam presented his first budget Monday, proposing to eliminate nearly 1,200 government positions, give a raise to remaining state employees, and make the deepest cuts in spending on TennCare and higher education.

You got proof? Let's see the proposals.

[Knew BETTER]

See its always the same.

[Concerned]

With affirmative action the only people who would lose their jobs are white men. That is the few who are allowed to work for the government.

IF IT'S TRUE (please provide verifiable references), we must make Haslam a one-term Governor.

I have no problem with cutting bloated bueracracy.

I do have a problem with raising government employee wages in these tough financial times.
