Ashe began publicly berating Sundquist for not steering funds from the DOT to fund his budget instead of introducing a state income tax or raising the sales tax to a whopping 10%!!
Tennessee supposedly is 48th in education funding but 1st in road funding. The crux of Sundquist's tax increase request is to fund education.
What Mr. Sundquist doesn't realize is that an increase in education funding does not equal an increase in results. Plenty of studies have proven that.
