Governor to roll out first piece of his legislative agenda

Wednesday, January 18 in the Old Supreme Court Chamber of the State Capitol

NASHVILLE – Tennessee Gov. Bill Haslam will announce tomorrow, Wednesday, January 18 the first piece of his legislative agenda.

The governor’s legislative agenda will focus on building and sustaining economic growth and the state’s competitiveness for the next generation of Tennesseans.

Since 2011, the Haslam administration and General Assembly have reduced the cost of state government to taxpayers, cutting taxes by $270 million and cutting $500 million in recurring costs from the state budget.

Wednesday’s announcement will build on that priority while ensuring Tennessee is positioned for continued growth, prosperity and opportunity.

Haslam’s announcement will take place in the Old Supreme Court Chamber of the State Capitol at 11:15 a.m. CST.
