Haslam Budget Passes The Senate cut nearly 60 million dollars to a number of programs before passing Governor Bill Haslam's 30-billion dollar plus spending plan by a 32 to 1 vote. The House passed its version 66-30. The two chambers will have to reconcile differences on projects before the measure can be signed by the Governor. The House version closes the Taft Youth Development Center in Bledsoe County and the largest cut was over 12-million dollars for the Memphis Regional Mega site. The Haslam spending proposal called for raises for state employees and more spending for construction on College campus’s with tax cuts on food and estates. (bg)
