Yes. In typical Bredesen weasel words, he said something to the effect that "An income tax now is not the answer." That of course means that if he wins, he will get in office, blame everything on past Governors, and institute an income tax later.

You have to remember what a snake Bredesen is. He jacked up everyone's property valuations then dropped the property tax rate so that he now crows that he cut property taxes. The reality is, Nashvillians had their taxes raised so high that it forced many people to sell and move.

Property tax...ugh....tell me about. My home property tax would pay a years tuition at a B level private school and my commercial property taxes are around 20% of my net operating income....all for lovely public schools that no one who can afford to besides crusaders send their kids to. Ah, the beauty of Southern Living and urban public schools.

BTW, that's not a racist comment....just a fact of life.

JD, do you know that many voters cannot understand the phenomenon that you just described? All over the country "compassionate" and "caring" politicians boast that they cut property taxes, while their bureaucratic staffs every three years raise valuations, often far beyond what the property could bring if sold. The people are just too stupid to understand that they have been "had," and they keep voting for these liberal "caregivers." I dont' think they can be educated, do you?
