It really cannot be overstated how fiscally irresponsible, unethical, and greedy this was!
Most of House GOP just voted to voluntarily blow a $2BILLION hole in the state budget, incl. $1.75B in corporate handouts. @TNDemocrats offered a proposal to address legal concerns that had $0 fiscal note. @GovBillLee’s biggest achievement this year is likely a check to himself.
Rep. Lamberth intentionally mislead TN on the GOP corporate giveaway of $1.75 billion they just passed. @brotherjones_ said 51% of the money went out of state, Lamberth said that only 19% went to companies out of state as if Jones was wrong. It was 19% of companies that got 51%…

WATCH: @EmoryUniversity Econ Professor @CarolineFohlin saw a protester on campus being violently arrested, and asked the police "What are you doing?" — then was violently thrown to the ground and arrested herself. Sickening.
After witnessing @TNGOP for 2 weeks it’s ALMOST as if they’re angry and longing for good ole days when Black folks ‘knew their place’ in the fields and women were ‘happy’ shackled to the bed or the kitchen stove Judging by their policies, it ain’t ‘almost’ Vote em out
To punt common sense gun reform after a mass shooting, give a $1.6 billion tax handout to corporations, then fumble on school vouchers during an election year is wild. @TNGOP is an utter failure to Tennesseans.

Not the news I was hoping to share but polling has us down 3 points to MAGA-extremist Kari Lake. And the truth is, we’re pacing behind on our fundraising goals. I can't do it alone, but with your help, we'll have a real shot at taking the lead and winning. Can you chip in today?

Again: over a billion in YOUR money flowing out of state to mega corporations while you pay the 3rd highest grocery tax in the U.S. and TN is #42 of 50 states for average income. It’s obscene.

Tennessee lawmakers have now agreed to a second billion-dollar business tax break in as many years. @friedmanadam5 reports that the 10-year impact of the twin tax breaks comes at a cost to the state ~$7.4B in future revenue. tennesseelookout.com/2024/04/26/ten… @TNLookout
Most of House GOP just voted to voluntarily blow a $2BILLION hole in the state budget, incl. $1.75B in corporate handouts. @TNDemocrats offered a proposal to address legal concerns that had $0 fiscal note. @GovBillLee’s biggest achievement this year is likely a check to himself.

JUST NOW: LOBBYISTS watched Senate Republicans pass their multi-BILLION dollar corporate tax giveaway (mostly to out of state companies) like it was the Super Bowl @SenJohnson (and @GovBillLee) worked hard to shield companies from real transparency
